Off course. I feel such like a fool! Well, in fact, I was not sure 
where to look.

>variables_order string

Well, I will ask first the sysop to make a modification to the 
variables_order in the php.ini and put 'GPCS', then, well, as they 
say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it :).

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Cheers
