Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm a PHP novice.

We have been using PHP 4 on a page in our website to pre-populate some text 
boxes on a form. The text is passed as part of the URL.

Here's a sample url showing how the data is passed:

http://www.samplesite.com/mypage.php?name=Sample+Name&addr=123+Main+Street&city=Sometown%2C+AL+12354

Here's the code I use on the page to populate the form boxes:

<input type="text" name="on0" maxlength="40" value="<?php echo $name; ?>">
<input type="text" name="os0" maxlength="40" value="<?php echo $addr; ?>">
<input type="text" name="on1" maxlength="40" value="<?php echo $city; ?>">

With PHP 4, it works perfectly.

Now our hosting provider is updating from PHP 4 to PHP 5.4. But with PHP 
5.4, none of the form boxes get populated. There's no error message or 
anything, it just simply leaves the form boxes blank as if nothing was 
passed via the URL.

What do I need to do to get it working with PHP 5.4?
