When uploading this question, I received an older answer:
> - is it now neccessary to define variables before I use them???

    No, but realize 4.2 changed how variables are referenced.  By default
register_globals is set to off now.

- Steve Yates

and that's it: when I set register_globals to 'on' it's working - thank's
Steve!

But since it is recommended to use 'off' (and will be standard in the
future):
does that mean that it's not longer possible to pass variables in an URL????

greetings,
Uwe
