 You need quotes around the constant, number, within the subscript to the $_POST variable.  $_POST['number'] will do it. PHP7 would look at the bare string and decide that it needed to be quoted. Later versions of PHP7 through a warning that it was deprecated. Now it's gone. If it's a string, quote it.

 I am probably being VERY stupid is all. but even a VERY basic form does not work...

<?
$test = $_POST[number];
echo $test;

<form action="#" method="post" name="testfrom">
NUMBER: <input type="text" id="number" name="number">
<input type="submit" value="Send Number">

This returns an error

 Can you provide more info including:
- Current server settings/installation versions + if it was changed recently?- What is the script logic you are using (html and the PHP backend logic).- Online examples if any.
Thanks!

I had several forms on a client's web site that emailed the input to that client.  They all worked fine in 7.4 but now that the server has been , neither one reads the form post data.  Any suggestions to fix this.
