I'm not sure what other configuration options you have on your setup - and I 
am not familiar with Uniserver - but, is this a scope issue?

I would have in my script either : global $chkMeat, $chkVeg, $chkSweet, 
$chkBev;
or, I would read the values in from the $_POST[] array:
$chkMeat = $_POST['chkMeat'];
etc.

The reason I am somewhat hesitant is that you seem to be getting the 
expected result at home. Uniserver may allow a more relaxed syntax on the 
expectation of running on a single machine. If so, it would seem a faulty 
assumption to make if used for further development. Otherwise, you may 
simply have a more relaxed scope option configured on your home setup (that 
seems to be the safest and most intelligent option from the developer's 
point of view. Certainly, the syntax I have suggested above is the only one 
that will work in any of my linux setups with php 4.3 , which I use.

I hope this is helpful?
