RH8, apache 2, php 4.2.2 problems

[Christensen Tom]

OK,
I know the transition form apache 1.x to 2 isn't supposed to be easy...
but, here's the deal.
I am setting up a new website, apache 2, redhat 8, php 4.2.2 (default redhat 8 install).

I can't get html forms to pass their variables successfully to my php scripts.
I create a simple form ie
<form name="test" method="post" action="test.php">
<input type="text" name="firstname">
<input type=submit name="submit">

and then my php script:

<?
print $firstname;
print "firstname";
?>

the results of this are that it prints "firstname" (without the quotes) but it never prints the string supplied in the form.
suggestions?
Tom
