We have installed an apache 1.3.19 recompiled with the activation of php
4.2.1 module on AIX 4.3.3. The php mainly works because if we have a php
file it is correctly interpreted.
The problem arises when we try to capture a variable value from a html form
and we try to use the value of that variable: it seems that the value is
lost. We run the same example to Linux platform instead of AIX and it works
fine!
Here the simple test we perform:
=======================
File test.html

<html>
<body>
prova
<form name="test" method="post" action="risposta.php">
<input type="text" name="campo" size=15 maxlength=8>
<input type="submit" name="invia">
</form>
</body>
</html>


File risposta.php

<?PHP
        echo "E' stato inviato:<br>";
        echo "--->" . $campo . "<---<br>";
?>

The result was:

The result is :

E' stato inviato:

---><---

Any idea?? 
Thanks

You would need to have register_globals enabled, which is probably the problem.

In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to
be 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.
