?variable=value doesn't work anymore

[mikahakkinen]

For a few years now I've run a basic website with some PHP on it.

I use the link.php?variable=value a lot to use this variable to produce the page.

However, I've moved the website to a new location and this function doesn't work anymore. When the URL is link.php?variable=value it doesn't recognise $variable at all.

Does anyone know how to get this working? All other PHP functions (connecting to databases and so on) work fine.

your new provider has register globals turned off. You can either replace the variable calls with this

$POST['varname'];
$GET['varname'];

or you can write a function to pull them into the global scope

as drawmack says it's the global vars there is the porblem...

the reason is you provider have upgraded the php version!

Read the stickies at the top of these forums, the PHP manual sections on Predefined variables, and the PHP manual section on register_globals
