phpmyadmin configuration problem : SOLVED

Hi there,
I have a big problem with my site host : the server had a big crash about a week ago. Now they seem to have identified the problem and reinstalled phpmyadmin but the variables don't pass from my html form to a php page. I recall that I had read something about a setting of phpmyadmin to solve this problem but just can't find that anymore in the documentation.
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks !!!

I don't think this has anything to phpMyAdmin but with the server configuration.
how are you passing the variables between your pages?
on the recieving pages are you just doing
or
Code: Select all
$newVar = $_POST['previousPageVar'];
//or
$newVar = $_GET['previousPageVar'];
//or
$newVar = $_REQUEST['previousPageVar'];
which php version was being used and is being used now?

I use $_POST
The php version is php 4.0.6, and I guess the previous one was the same (this has to be confirmed by my host).
Thanks

I would urge you to talk to your host about upgrading their version of php as there has been some significant improvements, both speed and security wise, to php since 4.0.6 I'm not even talking about upgrading to 5.x.x but the latest version 4.3.11.

There is no error message. The variables just don't pass.
I have downloaded all the files from the server to my PC and it works perfectly in a local environment (PC).

do a phpinfo() thing on both servers to see if you can spot any set up differnces in php.ini
