      PHP has two modes for passing variables - Register_globals on/off.
With it
      off, you can access a variable by using it's name direct:

      <form method="post">
      <input type=text name=myName>
      </form>

      <?php
      echo $myName;
      ?>

      if Register_globals i on, you need to access them via the $HTTP server
      variables:

      <?php
      echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['myName'];
      or
      echo $_POST['myName'];
      ?>

      You can change this in the php.ini file.
