phpdev apache problem with form variables

[sir pannels]

Hey chaps ...

Problem with Apache, that has been installed under the PHPdev 4 installer ...

Can't seem to send variables using html forms. Tried using POST and GET methods but the following page cannot read the variables sent, they get sent empty. I have tested the forms elsewhere and they work fine. Just a simple text field sending one word. Infact when I click the submit button on the form it goes to the action file however the variables get stuck onto the URL in the address not and still do not get picked up by the page.

Tried php HTTP_GET_VARS to try and recover the variables but no luck. As I said, I tried this form and others on my online host and they worked fine. So I'm thinking apache config issue? Can't see anything in conf file relating to this.

If anyone has any advice that would be great.

Regards,
Sir P

hi again firepages, ok I had that but it wasnt quoted, so now it doesnt send the variables to the URL however still doesnt seem to send anything .. something as simple as ... <form id="form1" name="form1" action="testr.php" method="POST">
<input name="test" type="text" id="test" />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="test" />
</form>
just doesnt send anything in a variable... any thoughts?

Also I had to find phpdev online as bandwidth was down for yer site, I noticed that a couple of months ago aswell, do you need a mirror to host it? I would be more than happy to offer a mirror for phpdev if you are continuing with it.
