Problems when trying to pass variables

[Bunghole28]

Could someone help me with this problem:

For some reason I am unable to pass variables like this

www.somesite.fi/test.php?number=5

Is there a line in Apache conf. file that
prevents me from using this?

http://www.somesite.fi/test.php?number=5
file not found

give us your code in test.php how you print the variable

[Bunghole28]

<?php
print "the number was " . $number;

This one works on my remote server...but not on my local apache server...so I figured it could be because of some line in the apache conf. file......

have you installed the newest php, the newest php sets defaultly the global_var to off, you can't use the simple way anymore
you can turn the global_var in your php.ini to on, or simple use

<?php 
print "the number was " . $_GET['number'];

That was it!!!
I had INDEED installed the latest php -- so that was the reason why all previous scripts didn't work - when tested locally
