Re: [PHP] querystring and PHP 4
register_globals which turned the id= into $id is turned off in PHP 4. This is a good thing(security reasons). You need to use $_GET['id'] (or in PHP3, $HTTP_GET_VARS['id'], and this also works in PHP4). It takes a bit to get used to it, but it's a much better way to handle things, especially where security is concerned. Hope this helps. --Joseph Guhlin http://www.josephguhlin.com/ Web Programmer / Unix Consultant / PHP Programmer Dan Wade wrote: Hello, i'm grabbing querystring data like: www.myserver.com/foo.php?id=bar echo $id; ?> It works like a champ on dev server using php 3 but the sys admin use PHP 4 on the production box and the querystring is no longer being passed. I can't imagine this changed from version to version.

Re: [PHP] querystring and PHP 4
1. use $_GET['id'] rather than $id OR 2. turn off register globals in php.ini, or at a per-directory level with a .htaccess file 3. you should have searched the archives first 4. this question gets asked almost daily Justin on 05/12/02 11:01 AM, Dan Wade ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > Hello, > > i'm grabbing querystring data like: > www.myserver.com/foo.php?id=bar > > echo $id; > ?> > > It works like a champ on dev server using php 3 but the sys admin > use PHP 4 on the production box and the querystring is no longer being > passed. > I can't imagine this changed from version to version. > > Is he missing something in his install? > > thanks, > > -Dan > Justin French http://Indent.com.au Web Development & Graphic Design -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
