passing parameters

[osusano]

i just installed a new apache.X.X.XX and the php.4.3.0 on windows XP computer and i installed it correctly

first installed my apache then the php source copied into the directory.

then copy the php.ini-dist to windows and change name into php.ini and copy the file php4ts.dll to c:\windows\systems directory.

i start my apache and i work fine with php

i create a file named test.php with the csript like this
<? print $test; phpinfo(); ?>

so this means i have to print the value of test is i have it in the ur provided but if not it will not print anything but i did type in the url like this: http://localhost/test.php?test=test123

so the output should be
test123
then the phpinfo resule

but it just shows the phpinfo result without the parameter i passed form the url. so how can i fixed this kind of problem?

Value of your variable test you have to get from HTTP variables.
So, to obtain what you need you have to print:

echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['test'];

instead of

echo $test;

Since you are using 4.3 just use $GET[], or $POST[] depending upon the method you specify in your form.

does this means all the variables im passign via url or via form should be get list this echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['test'];

can u just print it directly like <? print $test; ?>

coz from previous version that command will automatically print the value of the variable without using get_Vars and whatsoever.

maybe there is soemthign wrong with my installation thats wht im trying to find out.. even i tried intalling it in my windows XP still not working.. but i install older version and it work properly. but thats on my windows.. and i dont wanna use older version.. i want the new version.. is there any can help

There is nothing wrong with your installation. Since PHP 4.2 register_globals is disabled by default.

[osusano]

set this in your ini

register_globals = On

then try it again
