Hi,
I appologise for duplicate posting. I forgot to attach the file
I am having problems parsing php variables.
say now i goto http://www.testdomain.com/index.php?news=TODAY its not carrying the news=TODAY variable to the next page.
I have gone through my php.ini file and i cant find any problems. Now im fairly sure that it is my php.ini file thats causing the problems. Attached is my php.ini, if someone could find a fault i would be most gratefull.
I am running PHP 4-4.3.3.r1_1,1 withApache 1.3.27_5 on FreeBSD 4.9 Stable.
Thanks.
Ian
While it would be more appropriate to post this in some forum or list that deals specifically with PHP --- I'd recommend the forums at phpbuilder.com or phpfreaks.com; both are friendly and have knowledgeable PHP coders present.
However, this is absolutely the #1 FAQ re: PHP at present, and it couldn't hurt, in light of the continual growth in popularity of this scripting language, to address it here.
PHP is now shipped with register_globals=OFF, as noted in your attached file. If you access the URL http://www.foo.com/foo.php?bar=baz, and then attempt this in the script "foo.php"
<?php
echo $bar;
?>
You will get no output. It is recommended that you code foo.php thus:
<?php
echo $_GET['bar'];
?>
which is the above case would echo "baz" to the browser.
The workarounds are many; the one you are looking for is to change the register_globals directive in your php.ini to =ON and restart Apache. This is not recommended for several security reasons.
As mentioned before, it's *recommended highly* that you begin converting your scripts to the latter usage.
