Re: [PHP-DB] SoS

You might want to consider using the autoglobals arrays, $_GET and 
$_POST, this is due to some security concerns... because if you don't 
plan your codings properly, other parties might just be able to exploit 
your codes...

If you still want to insist on turning it on... you can do it via a file 
called php.ini, which should contain the directive register_globals = 
off, or something like that.

Hi, Shahmat:

Thank you very much!

Yes, I use "echo phpinfo()" and found out that
"register_globals" has been turned off. How can
I turned it on? Do I need to recompile the Php?
I also tried "if (isset($_GET["id"])) and 
found out that $id is NULL. So, there will
be an error in the SQL statement.

if the statement "if (isset($id)) doesn't probably it because 
register_globals has been turned off maybe?

How about "if (isset($_GET["id"]))" ?

Hi, Jason:

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I tried
the if (isset($id)) but it doesn't work. Any
thoughts?
By the way, I'm using Php4.3.3 and MySQL4.0.15a.
The tutorial I'm reading is about Php3. Will this
be the problem?
Many thanks.

Your if statement will only be TRUE if $id is set to FALSE, NULL 
       

or 
   

zero 
(0)--I think you're looking for if the variable is set.  That 
       

would 
   

be: if 
(isset($id))

I'm a beginner of PHP. While trying the code from
a tutorial, I encountered the following problem.
The variable $id can not be transfered to my server.
You can find the code at the end of this email. When
I visit http://mydomain.com/test.php?id=1
it always shows the list of the database instead
of a perticular record.
I appreciate your kind helps!
