quick question

[sfullman]

Hi there,

Someone should know this answer fairly straightforwardly.

My web host recently compiled PHP again after installing curl. Everything works, but after testing I've found that I can't refer to query string and other environment variables generally:

if I called page.php?category=bears

I would have to refer to:

$HTTP_GET_VARS['category'] and not $category.

I THINK this is a problem with how they've set my configuration, but can you tell me exactly what it is so I can tell them?

If you could show me the page in the PHP manual, that would be a plus!

Thanks,
Sam Fullman

But wiser to be using $HTTP_GET_VARS[] anyway.
