My guess is that the microsoft box uses an outdate version of php which by
default has register_globals turned on
When On you can directly use the variables in the code, but you get a bad
security on the php at the same time
eg:
$query="INSERT INTO table VALUES('$formvalue')";
When Off you increase security of the php script, but this requires you to
transfer the value to a variable
eg:
$formvalue=$_POST['formvalue'];
$query="INSERT INTO table VALUES('$formvalue')";
You can change the register_globals in the php.ini or make your code more secure.
