Variable passed in URL not working

[Anon]

I've installed PHP on my Linux box, but am wondering if I missed something in the setup of it. When I attempt to pass variables in the URL or by POST, the variables never get passed. For example, even hard typing straight into the url

somepage.php?what=4&why=8

and then attempting to simply echo them out

echo "What ".$what."<br>";
echo "Why ".$why."<br>";

isn't working. Any ideas. Thanks.

Mhh strange! There is noo need for any configuration stuff or maybe --enable-trackvars in order to get these vars in functions (I'm not sure).

If you call these vars in a function just try --> global $what and global $why

What is the output? Try:

phpinfo();

And give the output of that. And make sure you have enclosed the code in <? and ?>.
