It should be $GET['var'].
It should be $_GET['var']

RE: [PHP-DB] Global variables, $_GET problem
Ruth,
your reference to $_GET('var') is close, but as you have seen - no cigar :)
using the () after GET makes it refer to a function, but it is actually an
array which is automatically created, so you need to use
$_GET['var'] (note the square brackets
as for point 2 (register_globals) did you restart the apache service after
changing it? because registering globals should make $var available again
(but won't help with problem 1 :)

Did you restart the webserver?
Did you make sure you're editing the correct php.ini? Check using phpinfo().
