ok i upgraded to windows xp pro and now my php scripts dont work

i think i have narrowed it down to the fact the variables on urls
e.g - test.php?test=1234
and through the post feature on forms is not working

is this a problem with phpdev on xp or just having xp on a server

• my setup -
  phpdev 4.23 (firepages.au)
  win xp pro - no service pack

help pls

Did you upgrade your php, or reinstall?

If you did, you may want to check if register_globals = on.

its phpdev an all in one package as ive never got the thing to work another way

[wilsonodk]

$test=$_GET['test'];
$postvar=$_POST['postvar'];

If the page works, then you have register_globals turn off.

If that is the case you have a few options, reinstall php with register_globals on. Or, at the begining of your scripts set every variable from where it should be coming from. That can be very time consuming, however if you are used to coding with Java,C,C++,ASP or any of a number of other languages it isn't that big of a deal. It is a nice feature of PHP but it can also be a security risk.

I am sure there are other things you could do, I just don't know what
