Can't pass variables with HTTP_POST_VARS

[Stuart Stegall]

Use $_POST instead.  http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.post.php

$HTTP_POST_VARS was deprecated in PHP 4.1.  Also you'll probably want
to wrap it in htmlspecialchars() or something your roll yourself, to
make sure they don't do something like "); drop db users; as their
entry.
