there has been a change in my server apache/php 4.4.9/mysql effected

there first symptom is that the authentication form for users to log
in doesn't work at all (it worked a few days ago, and it has been
working for more than a year now).
the second weird behaviour is that when i placed this:
print_r ($_POST);
on the page where the login information is going to it retuned an
empty array.
what can it be that they have changed that causes this problem?
thank you in advance for your help,

What does phpinfo() output? Anyway, it sounds like your host has set up
phpsuexec or suPHP o rsomething similar where PHP runs in the CGI API,
rather than the Apache (or web server) API, since Basic auth in scripts
doesn't work the same way, by default in the CGI API. That's just a
guess and this doesn't mean a bad thing, other than some changes might
be needed in your script(s). The other sounds like they have disabled
register_globals, which is also a good thing, but might require some
changes.
They might have also upgraded to PHP5, which has some of these settings
by default (again, a good thing, provided you use decent scripts, but
otherwise could demand a few changes). Check with them, that's your
best bet and as your web host, they should be the best people to help
you, and the most willing. Did they fail to provide a notice of these
impending changes? Are they not communicating the changes they've
made?
