PHP Version 4.2.2 with register_globals off

Any help would be great!

Why won't this work? The same script will work on an older version of php with register_globals set to on.

<a href="test2.php?variable=test">TEST</a>

</font>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

----- and on test2.php, I have the following

<?php
$variable = urldecode($variable);
echo "<b> $variable </b><br><br>";
?>
</font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

HTTP GET vars are automatically decoded for you. From 4.1.0 you can use the superglobal array $_GET to access them.

//Replace this line
$variable = urldecode($variable); 

//With
$variable = $_GET['variable'];
