desperate php4 setup snafu

Here's the situation on the setup front. I'm running php4.11 on Win2K, IIS5, installed per instructions in Beginning PHP 4 (Wrox). The initial test worked fine -- phpinfo.php ran and I can echo dates -- but form handling is a complete no go and passing anything in the url does no better. Note: I have already checked the code and there are NO case-sensitivity issues.
The php.ini file points to the correct extension directory. I used the php.ini-recommended file, not the php.ini-dist.

Anybody experience this before?

You need to read this. I know it refers to 4.2 but the recommended ini file has some additional security features one of which is register_globals set to off.

two thumbs up!

use the php.ini-dist, and rename it to php.ini
