[PHP-INSTALL] Passing information via a url From: Adam Dear (wad3 <email protected>)
Date: 09/30/03

I have just started using php. I am trying to pass a parameter from one
page to another via a url ie:
     www.mysite.com/myphp.php?param=string

I am then checking the variable in the requested program, however, it isn't
working. I try to evaluate its value in a if statement ie:
     if($param == "string")
     {
       do something;
     }

Is there something I need to configure in php to be able to accept a
variable passed via a url?

By the way, I'm new to php, so please be specific with answers.

Thanks
Adam
