Problems running PHP.

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

Re: Problems running PHP.

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.
