[UPHPU] Passing info to a php script

[Keith Pettit]

Yes, to see all the variables you have available to you create a page
like info.php or someting with the following code then go to it.

<?php
 phpinfo();
?>

That will list out all the variables.  You can also try submiting data
to that page and you can see how the variables appear to see if it's
something you can use.  The just use the variable that has the info you
want in your code.
