Hmm, there was a similar question yesterday. Obviously, you have 
register_globals=off in your php.ini file. You can verify it either 
check the file php.ini directly or by www.mysite.com/phpinfo.php. 
Actally setting register_globals off is good for security concern. Now 
you can try to get the parameter by $_GET['param'].

Is there something I need to configure in php to be able to accept a
variable passed via a url?
By the way, I'm new to php, so please be specific with answers.

Thanks
