not reading variables

[Al123]

I have installed the Latest version of PHP (4.2) over Apache 1.3 on win2k. everything seems to be working except that I cannot pass variables from one page to another. the second page does not read it. this might be a simple overlook, but i just cant seem to figure it out. I am attempting to pass the variable through the URL (i.e. http://bla.bla.com?var1=value). can someone please help? Thank you!

Use $GET[var_name] or $POST[var_name]
In new versions of PHP globals variables are disabled by default

Thank you for all your help everyone. I've figured out what the poblem was. In case anyone else is having similar issues...

in the php.ini file the "register_globals" is set by default to "Off" for security reasons. i switched to "On" and it is now working.

Again thank you all for your help!
