Problems sending variable trough URL

[Alfern]

When I send a variable in my URL like this: http://www.server.com/test.php?variable=test

and on the test.php page I have

<?
echo ("$variable");
?>

Nothing happens.

I have checked the php.ini on the server with the command phpinfo(); and I can see that register global is set to on.

I have also tried $variable=$GET['variable']; and
@extract($GET);

but nothing seems to help.

Setting $variable=("test"); in test.php gives me the desired result though.

Any suggestions?

if (isset($GET['variable'])) {
$variable = $GET["variable"];
}

although i would definitely choose another name for your variable.

😉 The variable doesn't have that name, it was just an example.

I have allready checked with IsSet, and it is not. 🙁
I'll check with my service provider because I think there has to be something wrong with their php configuration.
