server not saving form input

[Anon]

I'm using windows 98 (I know, I know), however my system is not writing the input from forms to mysql database.

One program that I used gave a message that my php is not set to send e-mail.

Any knowledge of possible problems.

Thanks

I've been trying to get HTML forms with php and mysql working about about 6 hours now. I've asked for help elsewhere and no one can really figure out why TUTORIAL based scripts wont work. I run php 4.2.1 and apache 1.3.26

do you have register globals on?

hi,
Try to read :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/html/language.variables.predefined.html

And try to use $_POST or $_GET to retrive the variables from a HTML form.

Best regards
