A guess:
Your local server has different settings then the
remote server. Specifically, the register_globals
directive.
For example, take this url:
http://www.example.com/foo.php?id=3
If register_globals = off you can get this by:
// These methods work as of PHP 4.1.0
print $_GET['id'];
print $_REQUEST['id'];
import_request_variables('gpc', 'r_');
print $r_id;
// This works as of PHP 3
print $HTTP_GET_VARS['id'];
If register_globals = on, an additional method exists.
// Works if register_globals = on
print $id;
It's preferred to not rely on register_globals = on. In
fact, this directive is deprecated and may not work one
day. As of PHP 4.2.0 this defaults to off in php.ini.
