IIS 5
variables from form don't pass

when I launch this code

<? if (!@$name):?>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="test.php">
  Name<br>
  <input name="name" type="text" id="name"><br>
  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<? die; endif;
echo "it works!";
?>

Message "it works!" never appears, because variable $name will never be defined, whatever I did.

This problem appears in PHP 4.2 and PHP 4.3, but not in PHP 4.1

In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to
'off'. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info.
We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary
part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable.

As of PHP 4.2 the default value for register_globals is off.  Either turn on register_globals or access form elements via the $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST arrays. ($HTTP_*_VARS in PHP 4.2)
