strange apache php problem
 

I am having a strange problem with apache 2.53 and php4 module on my gentoo system. I am able to excute php pages but when I submit a form to a php page, they do not get transferred to the php page. Please help.

how do u retrieve the data sent by post or get from the form. maybe u are used to work with php with the
register_globals flag set to "on" and here it is set to "off".
if set to "off" u find the sent values in $_POST["fieldname"] or $_GET["fieldname"] elements

Thanks a lot for the reply and I hope it helps, but what is the difference? Does it have anything to do with the security of the system?

the recommended way to run php is with register_globals=Off for security reasons. a lot of production servers still use the less
secure way though. so if u want to learn it thoroughly get used to both...
good luck
