Variables ignored if passed by url?

[Heywood]

I am running my own server, and I suspect my php install is to blame for this problem. This simple code:

<?php

print("$var is the variable in this case");

?>


when you enter something like this:

http://www.mysite.com/test.php?var=foo

I get in response:


is the variable in this case

it will ignore any variables passed through from the browser.

if I set a value in the script, it works just fine.

does this sound familiar to anyone? Configuration problem, maybe? or should I reinstall php and everything?

It is mostlikley I believe to be that in the php ini register_globals = off it should be at = on

that worked perfectly, actually, thanks a bunch. I went through the website, and my books and couldn't find a dang thing..
