[PHP-DB] Variable won't be passed from HTTP address bar

[Michel Bakkenes - bakkenes.net]

Ok.. I'm not a newbie I thought.. I do have experience with PHP, but I
never suffered from this error.
 
I used on my own redhat 8.0 server the following test-script:
 
if($action=="test"){ echo "Test";}
 
I tried it to run with: 127.0.0.1/index.php?action=test
 
It doesn't print anything. (which means I even can't print hello world
:P)
 
Oh, other variable constructions like $bla = "blah" . echo $bla etc. do
work.. 
 
With regards,
