Hi

I have installed both Mandrake 9.1 and Red Hat 9 on two seperate machines.

During installation I selected both PHP and Apache.

When I try and execute a php script on either machines they work but dont read anything sent to them for example.

If I had a script that printed the variable test and executed by http://127.0.0.1/script.php?test=test

The page would not show test, but instead blank.

PHP is working because I can write a script to query MySQL and print all records. But it is just this one thing not working.

I am not sure what it is?

Any help?

Regards

Mike

Awhile back the PHP guys decided to change "register_globals" to OFF instead of on, for security. As a result, in order to get at your test variable, refer to it as $_GET['test'] instead of $test.

Same goes with posting via forms. Use $_POST['variable'] to access those variables.

Ok thanks, I havent tested it yet, but this server is going to be a mirror of a site remotly hosted. It dosent use this and I would like to turn it on.

Do you know how I can change it?

change the value of "register_globals" in the php.ini file to "ON"
