[PHP] Form Variables not getting passed || Apache, MySql, Win 2k Setup
Hey all. This driving me nuts: I've got Apache, MySql, and Windows 2000 running on my local machine. In order to get passed php variables evaluated, whether via a url query string, or through a form post, I have to use this syntax: $_REQUEST[$my_passed_variable] I have no such problem with our hosting company servers; i.e. I can access query_string and form posted variables as $my_passed_variable. What is going on here? Is there something in php.ini that needs to be adjusted?

Yup. Restarted Apache.

then run extract($_REQUEST); just above where you want to use the var1 var2... and it will place all the key = value pairs into the local scope.

Re: [PHP] Form Variables not getting passed || Apache, MySql, Win 2k Setup
Sure.
In the code below, class_type is passed in the query_string (e.g.
index.php?section_id=12page_type=class_submitclass_type=apartments)
Also, below sql values are sent via a post.
Code Snippet ***
switch($_REQUEST['class_type']) {
case 'apartments';
dbConnect(INSERT into c_apart_data (submit_date, apart_type_id, location,
bedrooms, rent, heat, lease, deposit, pets, phone, email, blurb)
Values('$submit_date', '$apart_type_id', '$location', '$bedrooms', '$rent',
'$heat', '$lease', '$deposit', '$pets', '$phone', '$email', '$blurb'));
break;
more code
**
Let me know if you need more info,

RTFM! Your problem is register_globals.

Re: [PHP] Form Variables not getting passed || Apache, MySql, Win 2k Setup
why would it matter if he does it just above the place that he is going to use them? doesn't matter if he is in a function or not. the $_REQUEST var will always be available. if he calls a function then he would have to do it just inside the function or pass it to the function.

Checked out the php.ini file. register_globals is set to On -- there is no semicolon or other character that would cause a problem.
