Problem with Variables from URLs

[ceavou]

Hi,
I am having a problem with my script recognizing a variable from an URL.

For example you have the URL for the script as
http://loaclhost/index.php?variable=yes

Then my script for index.php would be:

<?php

echo $variable;

?>

And the variable wont show up! I've tried this with multiple variable in the address and same problem, it just doen't recognize it as a variable. Why!?!

If i declare a variable as normal though, like:

$variable = something;

It will show up when i echo it. So the problem speciffically liew with the script not recognizing the Variable in a URL.

Note: I have just recently installed PHP and Apache again and when I previously had it installed last month it was working fine.
So would this mean I have to configure something differently??

Please Help,
THanx

then you need to use

$GET['varname']
$POST['varname']

to retrieve the values depending on the method of data transfer

this is definitely a configuration issue because it works fine for me using exactly your example. Sorry i can't tell you exactly what your config issue is
