$_GET['duh'];

empnorton

Okay, this is probably a stupid question, but here goes.

I have set up a page that pulls a list from a mySQL table, and formats them in a list with a href that includes the unique id.

When the user selects a link, they are sent to the same page, but with the id in the url. This is working fine.

Then I am using $_GET['portid']; to extract the unique identifier, and provide content along with the original list.

This works fine on my dev server, but not on my hosts server. For some reason, its just not $_GETting the variable for me.

Any ideas?

What php version is the server running (use phpinfo())? I believe $_GET was introduced in 4.1? The manual will say for sure.

The php version on the hosts server is 4.3.1, and my dev server is 4.1.2.

How ironic. I have almost the same exact problem, except I don't have a local server, but I have it running on a test server I get no output at all. I'll be watching your feedback for ideas for my problem.

It's probably not actually getting to the $GET stattement. Have you tried a very simple test script?

<?php echo $_GET['portid']; ?>

And just call it with
test.php?portid=123

That worked, and prompted me to check how I was dealing with that variable after that point. The issue in the end was that I was treating my $variable like a global, which my host doesnt care for.

Thanks for the tip...
