in the file save.php use _POST to reference the form variables. using $x, $y, $z did not work for me. 5 $user->first_Name = $_POST['x']; 6 $user->last_Name = $_POST['y']; 7 $user->email = $_POST['z'];

Showing messages 1 through 3 of 3.

  Hi friend, for that work without _POST; You should activate the var :
  
  register_globals=OFF => register_globals= ON
  
  This variable this in the file of configuration of PHP (php.ini).

  no no no no.
  
  register_globals = ON is a SERIOUS SECURITY VIOLATION that can allow a user to hijack the session data with their own variables.
  
  keep register_globals = OFF and just use $_POST or $_GET to grab your form variables.
  
• use .htaccess for x, y, z

  I second your remark but for this article it's possible to avoid modifying a single line of code by using a simple .htaccess file with the following lines in it :
  php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
  php_flag register_globals on
