Probl with creating PHP varaibles

vaterlo

I installed PHP on my home computer (on win xp) with apache. I think i installed it correctly, maybe not, at least i could get phpinfo. The problem is: variables are not created when i attach them to url, like file.php?foo=balblabla . Plz help.

Thanks

If phpinfo() is working, then everything is sweet.

For variables in URLs, either switch register_globals on (php.ini) or use $_GET[$myvariable]

Best o luck

well i'm pretty sure he wants to get a variable that was passed to a page from another page, and obviously he is using the get method, so Norman Graham was correct in telling him, that he can either turn

register_globals = On // would leave off IMHO

or he can use

$GET['variablename']; // to access get variables
$POST['variablename']; // to access post variables

or he can use either

extract($GET); // to extract get variables to $variables
extract($POST); // to extract post variables to $variables
