PHP will not post vars.

When every I submit my form information it just puts the <?php echo
$PHP_SELF?> as part of the URL. Please help....

---------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<body>

<?php
if ($submit){
//connect to database
//$host = "host";
//$user = "user";
//$pass = "**";
//$database = "driveaf";

$db = mysql_connect("host", "genuser", "pasword");
mysql_select_db("driveaf", $db);
//Connected to data base
//write data to db
$sql = "INSERT INTO users (empID, firstname, lastname, email,
password, reg_date, website) VALUES ('$empID', '$firstname',
'$lastname', '$email', PASSWORD('$password'), '$reg_date',
'$website')";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
echo "Thanks";
}else{
//

?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>">
<p>Employee ID:
<input name="empID" type="text" id="empID">
</p>
<p>First Name:
<input name="firstname" type="text" id="firstname">
</p>
<p>Last Name:
<input name="lastname" type="text" id="lastname">
</p>
<p>email address:
<input name="email" type="text" id="email">
</p>
<p>password:
<input name="password" type="text" id="password">
</p>
<p>
<input name="submit" type="Submit" value="Submit">
</p>
</form>

</body>
</html>

Are you sure that PHP is running on your machine? And are you really
sure that PHP does not use the default value for register_globals? If
resgister_globals is off (default!), then have a look at the following
changes:
<?php
if ($submit){
Should be:
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO users (empID, firstname, lastname, email,
password, reg_date, website) VALUES ('$empID', '$firstname',
'$lastname', '$email', PASSWORD('$password'), '$reg_date',
'$website')";
$sql = "
INSERT INTO users (
empID,
firstname,
lastname,
email,
password,
reg_date,
website
)
VALUES (
$_POST['empID'],
'$_POST[firstname]',
'$_POST[lastname]',
'$_POST[email]',
PASSWORD($_POST[password]),
'$_POST[reg_date]',
'$_POST[website]')
";

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>">


<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">

Matthias
