Ruth,

your reference to $_GET('var') is close, but as you have seen - no cigar :)
using the "()" after GET makes it refer to a function, but it is actually an
array which is automatically created, so you need to use

$_GET['var'] (note the square brackets

as for point 2 (register_globals) did you restart the apache service after
changing it? because registering globals should make $var available again
(but won't help with problem 1 :)

// 
// 
// Hello php friends,
// We just upgraded our PHP to version 4.2.1.  I realized that 
// $var is no
// longer available from www.url.com/myphp.php?var=3 .  As 
// instructed in the
// document, we have tried two things:
// 1. I tried to use $_GET('var'), however, I got "Fatal error: Call to
// undefined function: array() in /home/httpd/... " message.  I 
// have no clue
// what this means, and what I have done wrong.
// 2. Set register_globals = on in the configuration file.  
// This did not make
// any difference.
// 
// I don's know what to do now.  Your help is highly appreciated.
// 
// Ruth
