In need of a lot of help

My server recently changed it's security settings (register_globals is now off and I don't know what else it changed).
Basically, my main problem is that I use a form to make news posts on my site (I didn't code it). It doesn't use MySql whatsoever. Basically, the form has a dropdown list and three text boxes. The dropdown list is for selecting the user that is making the post. The text boxes are for the password, title of the news post and the news post itself. I would then click on the submit button.
What it would do is basically refresh the page while remembering the password, title and news post. The code would verify the password and then create a news file in PHP using fopen and fwrite.
Due to the new security problems, the variables are not remembered after I click the submit button. Basically, clicking that button has become the same as clicking the refresh button. As a result, my news posts aren't made.
Is there a way I can get past these security problems so that the variables continue to get passed on?
