PHP variables not working: move from PHP4 to PHP5

You could try to put this directly after the <?php

if(isset($_POST)){
    echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST); echo '</pre>';
    exit;
}

Then click the submit button of the form and you should see whats in the post. Check if it is correct and debug from there. If the post is still empty there is something seriously wrong with the universe.

In your forms you will have something like <input type=“text” name=“email”>.
After the form is posted and with globals on you can use echo $email; and it works.
With globals off you need to do this, echo $_POST[‘email’];
