Moving this to scripting. Hope someone there can help you!

If I remember right, use the GET method for your form, or set the variables again in send.php using $HTTP_POST_VARS (I think).
I wonder if it matters, but what version of PHP are you running?

Versions of PHP before 4.2 allowed to you access form variables as if they were global variables. To use them, you need to define each variable as a global variable:
global $var1, $var2, $var3; // ...'This will need to go at the top of your send.php file, and it will also be needed inside any functions you define there.
In version 4.2 and later, the direct access of all system and environment variables has been disabled. You will need to refer to http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php#language.variables.superglobals for more details on how to access them (I'm not using PHP4.2 yet, but this change will stay for future versions, so it's a good idea to get into the habit now!)
Good luck!

That is only because PHP 4.2 set the default for register_globals to false, when it's always been true in previous versions. Easy fix....
Method 1: Alter your php.ini and set it to true
Method 2: Add this line to your .htaccess file:
php_flag register_globals on
If you want to use method 2...

So what does somebody do if they can't access their php.ini file? The PHP team disabled it for a reason, so it makes sense to start using the new method, as the old way may become depreciated over time and not be usable at all...

If you don't have access to your php.ini file, you use method 2.
It is now disabled for security reasons. Which is a good thing. But it also blows up a lot of scripts. So if your running sites that are dependant on these old scripts and need a quick fix...
