Your problem is not PHP 5. I think in PHP 5 they finally decided to
tighted up the security a bit and disabled automatic registration of
post and get variables... your solution would be something like this...

$ok = !empty($_POST['ok']) ? $_POST['ok'] : null;
$cancel = !empty($_POST['cancel']) ? $_POST['cancel'] : null;

if (isset($ok)) { something; }
else ................

hope that helps..
