Within your configurations, is register_globals on?  I try this code and  
it works just fine.  Although if register_globals setting in php.ini is   
off it will not, try replacing :                  

    echo ($name);

with

    print $HTTP_GET_VARS["name"];

And see what happens.   If you want $name type variables to register as
global, then turn the setting to on.  Strangly, iirc, this should be on by
default though.  The fact that you have name=Bob in url would suggest
this to be the "problem".  Read about these settings here :
