Two possibilities I can think of:
(1) Is your echo statement above within a function? If so, you have
to globalize it, or pass it as a function parameter:
function zaphod($beeblebrox)
{
return '<div align="center">'.
$beeblebrox.
'</div>';
}
echo zaphod($contents);
or
function zaphod()
{
global $contents;
return '<div align="center">'.
$contents.
'</div>';
}
echo zaphod();
See
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php
for more info.
(2) The register_globals parameter is not set. This must be on if you
want GET/POST/COOKIE etc. parameters to be automagically converted to
variables. This can be set in php.ini, .htaccess, or httpd.conf, and
can also be programmatically set and checked via ini_set() and
ini_get(), respectively. If this is NOT set, you'll have to refer to
your GET parameter as
$HTTP_GET_VARS['contents']
See
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-get.php
for more info.
