Sorry - sent before I meant to
If all these fail, the next thing to check would be differences in PHP
version on the two systems. I haven't seen any problem with $_POST in
PHP, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
The other thing you might want to do is add display_errors=on to your
script. But your problem here is the $_POST initialization is long
before you get to any code in your script, so if there is an error in
setting up $_POST, you'll never see it. In such cases it's better to
place the values in your httpd.conf file (if you're using Apache). See
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php for more
information on how to do this.
NOW I think I'm done :)
