As we don't know what version of php the later one uses, we can't for sure say
what's wrong, but it could be that you aren't using the get method, but post,
in which case you should have used $_POST, but when unsure how a page will be
called on and you aren't that picky about the moethod, then use $_REQUEST.

If they use an old version of php (pre 4.1.0), then use $HTTP_GET_VARS and/or
$HTTP_POST_VARS. Keep in mind that those won't work well on newer versions of php.
