Re: [Phplib-users] Need Help -- Very Strange Problem

Thanks, I'm aware of what "exit;" does ... I put line 2 in place so that 
the cookie setting functions wouldn't complain and stop the script.  After 
proving that the HTTP_POST_VARS indeed contained the expected values on the 
very first line of the "receiving" script, I commented out lines 1 and 2, 
which allowed line 4 to display the contents of the HTTP_POST_VARS ... and 
they were empty.  As I said in my note,
         > If I comment out lines 1 and 2, the $HTTP_POST_VARS are
         > empty in line 4, as are all other variables.

My problem is that after calling "page_open", all variables have 
disappeared.  And that's the issue I need help with ... I've never seen 
this before, and as far as I can tell, the environmental variables on this 
server are identical to those on other servers where this code works correctly.

Any suggestions at all will be greatly appreciated ...

Bob.
