Hi, I'm new here and I've been having problem after problem with WAMP recently and I don't know why.
The current issue I am having is with accessing data submitted from a form. To test it out I tried using the code from the w3schools PHP form submission tutorial which is below, and I realized that the problem is with the server. After doing several google searches I found this:
This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0.
I am fine with that, but how am I supposed to read the variables from the HTML file if I can't use $_POST or $_GET? I tried looking online and no one has an answer. How am I supposed to use the variables in the HTML code in PHP since WAMP doesn't allow global variables anymore?
Pleas someone help because I have been at this for hours and am at the end of my rope!
HTML
<html>
<body>
<form action="welcome_get.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
E-mail: <input type="text" name="email"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
PHP
<html>
<body>
Welcome <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?><br>
Your email address is: <?php echo $_POST["email"]; ?>
</body>
</html>

Far as I know, global variables are still working yet some institutions re recommending to avoid using it in the future. For your problem, have you tried assigning your POST data first before calling them?
IE:
<php
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
echo "Welcome ".$name."<br>";
echo "Your email address is: ". $email;
?>
