Turn on register_globals in your php.ini file

How are you checking for the value?
If your url is something like
http://yoursite.com/yourscript.php?yourvariable=value
then in yourscript.php you should be able to access the yourvariable
value through the
auto-global GET array like this: $_GET['yourvariable']
So you could say
print("yourvariable: " . $_GET['yourvariable'] . "<br>\n");
PHP doesn't automatically create a global variable $yourvariable for you
anymore unless you turn register_globals on.

machine) and It works. Ican can generate web pages and all that, but when I
tried to accept a parameter from the URL, the varible turned up null.

In short, you need to access your variable via the superglobal arrays as
specified here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php
Also, you can read from
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#configuration.file ::
register_globals boolean
Tells whether or not to register the EGPCS (Environment, GET, POST, Cookie,
Server) variables as global variables. For example; if register_globals =
on, the url http://www.example.com/test.php?id=3 will produce $id. Or,
$DOCUMENT_ROOT from $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. You may want to turn this off
if you don't want to clutter your scripts' global scope with user data. As
of PHP 4.2.0, this directive defaults to off. It's preferred to go through
PHP Predefined Variables instead, such as the superglobals: $_ENV, $_GET,
$_POST, $_COOKIE, and $_SERVER. Please read the security chapter on Using
register_globals for related information.
Please note that register_globals cannot be set at runtime (ini_set()).
Although, you can use .htaccess if your host allows it as described above.
An example .htaccess entry: php_flag register_globals on.
Note: register_globals is affected by the variables_order directive.

I am trying to install PHP version 4.2.1 on Apache version 2.0.39 on a Win32
platform. When I try to load the phpinfo.php script using my browser it
loads a "object can't be found" error. I checked the location of the script
and everything is where it's suppose to be.
Here's how I installed..........
Downloaded php4apache2.dll and replace it with the existing one in the
"c:\php\sapi" (I had to create the sapi folder because I didn't find it in
the PHP directory.
Modified htppd.conf to include these two lines:
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .phtml
Any advice or help you could provide me with would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
