Re: [PHP-INST] Help, getting nothing from $_GET From: Robert Duran (robert <email protected>)
Date: 11/18/02

Aha, found the problem. I had:

variables_order = "ES"

in my php.ini file. This was recommended in a book i had as a security
precaution. It was apparently written before the changes to the
register globals default.

Thanks for the help!
