Sorry - sent before I meant to

If all these fail, the next thing to check would be differences in PHP 
version on the two systems.  I haven't seen any problem with $_POST in 
PHP, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

The other thing you might want to do is add display_errors=on to your 
script.  But your problem here is the $_POST initialization is long 
before you get to any code in your script, so if there is an error in 
setting up $_POST, you'll never see it.  In such cases it's better to 
place the values in your httpd.conf file (if you're using Apache).  See 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php for more 
information on how to do this.

NOW I think I'm done :)
