Hi,
I have PHP 5 and Apache 1.3 on Windows 98. Its running OK, but whenever a
global is specified in the address, it is not passed on to the script.

For example:
"Page.php?var=value" produces the same document as just "Page.php" when they
should produce different documents.

I know it is not a bug in my script as I've had the script running fine on
my other server (PHP5, Apache 2.0, Windows XP Pro)

Any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance,
Matt Firth.

You have echo'd $_GET['var'] and was the proper value?

Thanks for the reply :)
That works fine. But its wierd how the old code doesnt work on my new
server.

Before, the following code worked fine when requesting
"test.php?var=myvalue"

<?
global $var;
echo $var;
?>

But on the new server it doesnt, it produces a blank page. The following
however, does work.

<?
echo $_GET['var'];
?>

Any idea why there acting differently?

Matt :)

Yep, because register_globals (in the php.ini--if you change it make sure to
restart your web server so that ther settings take effect) is 'off' in the
new server. This is the recommended practice. As I understand it there will
ot even be a register_globals setting in PHP6.

Well, I may aswell edit my scripts now if they may need editing in the
future anyway for PHP6.

Many Thanks!
Matt.

That is a good plan for more reasons than that! There have been many a holy
war over the register_globals issue.

I guess register_globals = off in your php.ini (as default setting in PHP 5)

you got to use $_GET["var"] instead of $var.
