URL Arguments Missing

[Anon]

I installed PHP4 on Windows 2000, everythings works fine except for url arguments, they are entirely invisible for php, e.g. $foo is null in mypage.php if I call mypage.php?foo=something, can anybody help??

Make sure register_globals is set to On in your php.ini file. Another way to check for this is to try accessing the variable through the $HTTP_GET_VARS array
like
print $HTTP_GET_VARS["variablename"]

Thanks Louie it worked! I didn't change php.ini but used $HTTP_GET_VARS[] instead to keep my scripts compatible with PHP4 in case my host upgrades to 4. Thanks again.
