PHP Variables problem...

[wanda46]

Hi, I wrote a PHP file, which runs correctly on one machine, when I moved this PHP file to another machine (version 4.2.2) it did not work.

The details are:

I called a file - somefile.php?layer=30

In one line of my somefile.php, I want to output layer by the following code:

<?php echo $layer;?>

It should output 30, but actually output nothing.

I wonder if this is a problem of different versions of PHP? If it is, how to solve it?

Many thanks.

Try using $_GET['layer'] as it probably has something to do with the configuration of PHP

Sounds like one box has register_globals = on and the other one has register_globals = off (in the php.ini file)

Make them both the same (i'd suggest using register_globals = off)

HTH
