The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

of course it works!
i know it works..that's not the issue. the problem is that some configuration or something makes it NOT work on MY computer.
my question was if anyone knew what could be the cause of this error.
Try putting a phpinfo() call after the print in example2.php. Look under the PHP Variables section to see if a _POST["name"] exists. You should also see a ton of other PHP Variables.
well, read the posts above and the problem is most probably solved. if register_globals is turned off in your php configuration file you have to either turn it on (not recommended) or use the proper globals assigned to these variables.
access the variable by $_POST["name"] (in my case).
turning register globals off is not recommended both because it might cause problems with multiple variables ending up with the same name and it is also a security vulnerability. (people might put &foo=bar in the adress field which will assign your variables other values.
hope this helps. otherwise post again. quoting your script would probably help if the problem remains.
Cheers
