I had a similar problem with PostNuke. It turned out that PHP4 does not
"register_globals" by default (PHP3 did). So if a PHP page tries to
read a form variable like $action, it is undefined. The proper PHP4 way
is to access that form field value via $_POST['action'] (or: global
$HTTP_POST_VARS; echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['action'];)
Rather than changing all of your old PHP3 and PHP3-ish scripts
(including your entire phpgroupware application), you can edit the
php.ini file (make sure you edit the one that is actually being used) to
turn-on the "register_globals" directive.
To test and see whether this directive is turned-on, run phpnifo().
Scroll down through the table of settings and you will find
register_globals; it will be marked On or Off or master and local. The
following file is a test file that will run phpinfo() for you (name it
something like "info.php"):
<?
phpninfo();
?>
