For some odd reason, my foxserv(apache/php/mysql) has some weird problem.
If I send a variable over on the url or through a form it will not show up..

example:

URL : page.php?var=test

<? echo "$var"; ?>
This wont work.


But this will:
<?
$var = "test";
echo "$var";
?>

It has to do with the settings or somthing because my script works fine on Guardianhosting.

Is there anysetting to do with passing variables or somthing?

1. what version of php have you got installed?

2. if you got version 4 (I think) or above then you should be using <?php ?> as the tags., although that shouldn't cause a problem

3. you could check whether the variable is being set with this code:

CODE
URL: page.php?var=test

<?php

echo isset($var);

?>


this should return TRUE, if it returns FALSE then you've got a problem... but I don't have a clue what.

PHP Version 4.2.2

System Windows NT 5.1 build 2600
Build Date Jul 21 2002 23:51:43
Server API Apache 2.0 Filter
Virtual Directory Support enabled
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS\php.ini
Debug Build no
Thread Safety enabled


none of the above code works. It shouldnt have to do with the code.

yeah, the latest versions of PHP have register_globals turned off by default.
it was a security decision as far as I can guess.
Your supposed to use $_HTTP_LINK(var) or something like that
(don't have the exact syntax on the top of my head right now)
