Problems running PHP.

I just install in my computer PHP 5.0.2, I followed
the instruction on the book PHP and MySql Web
Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson.
But, it is not working. I have tried to use this
codes, one is just a html form and the other is a php
code. I tried to pass the values from the form to the
php code but it is not getting the values.

HTML Form:

<form action="proccessorder.php" method="GET">
<table border="0">
<tr bgcolor="#cccccc">
<td width="150">Item</td>
<td width="15">Quantity</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Tires</td>
<td align="center"><input type="text"
name="tireqty" size="3"
maxlenght="3" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Oil</td>
<td aling="center"><div align="center">
<input type="text" name="oilqty" size="3"
maxlenght="3" />
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Spark Plugs</td>
<td aling="center"><div align="center">
<input type="text" name="sparkqty" size="3"
maxlenght="3" />
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><input
type="submit" value="Submit Order" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Php Code:

<?php
// variables para capturar desde la orderform
$tireqty = $HTTP_GET_VARS['tireqty'];
$oilqty = $HTTP_GET_VARS['oilqty'];
$sparkqty = $HTTP_GET_VARS['sparkqty'];
?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Bob's Auto Parts - Order Results</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Bob's Auto Parts</h1>
<h2>Order Results</h2>
<?php
echo '<p>Order pordessed at ';
echo date('H:i, jS F');
echo '</p>';

echo '<p>Your order is as follows: </p>';
echo $tireqty.' tires<br />';
echo $oilqty.' bottles of oil<br />';
echo $sparkqty.' spark plugs<br />';
?>
</body>
</html>

I am sure that this code works because I tried it on a
server who is running php 4.0, I know that in php
5.0.2, I can use $_POST and $_GET instead of
$HTTP_GET_VARS or $HTTP_POST_VARS. But, I have tried
them and they are not working.
So, I hope you can help me to fix it, because I really
want to learn how to program with PHP.

Best Regards,
Jose

Hi Jose,

Since your report is not about the php.net website, this is not the
right address to send it. Please consult php-general@lists.php.net for
support questions.
