Re: [PHP] querystring and PHP 4

[bahwi]

register_globals which turned the id= into $id is turned off in PHP 4. This is a good thing(security reasons). You need to use $_GET['id'] (or in PHP3, $HTTP_GET_VARS['id'], and this also works in PHP4).

It takes a bit to get used to it, but it's a much better way to handle things, especially where security is concerned.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

i'm grabbing querystring data like:
www.myserver.com/foo.php?id=bar

<?
echo $id;
?>

It works like a champ on dev server using php 3 but the sys admin
use PHP 4 on the production box and the querystring is no longer being
passed.
I can't imagine this changed from version to version.

Is he missing something in his install?

thanks,
