php not passing variables

[Hytech]

Hi:

We seem to have a problem with our php installation on a win2k server. For some reason, variables are not being transferred from either forms or even URLs to the script it self. For example, take this:

testvar.php?name=mark

This file is supposed to simply echo $name, but it's saying:

Notice: Undefined variable: name in C:\Inetpub\www\newcolospace\wwwroot\test\testvar.php on line 1

Any idea what is causing this? I'm a developer, I can't handle this sys admin stuff!

register globals is turned off. Check your php.ini file.

If they are URL values (something.com?value=1)

You can do: $_GET["value"];

For form values to:

$_POST["value"];

Thanks. Knew it was something like that.
