It Didn't Work

It won't let me reply but it lets me post when I register so I registered again and the problem was:

Retrieving Hyperlink parameter values in PHP

I have a PHP program that creates a page with several links all to the same URL but with different parameter values in the hyperlink e.g. <a href=”FILENAME.php?VARIABLE=123”>Click Here</a>. How do I retrieve the value of VARIABLE (=123) in file FILENAME.php?

and the solution given was to use $_GET["variable"] but that doesn't work:

phpt1:
<html>
<a href="phpt2.php?A=1234567890">GO</a>
</html>

phpt2:
<html>
<?php
$a=$_GET["A"] ;
echo $a ;
?>
</html>

When I run phpt1 and clik on GO nothing is output but the url shows as being phpt2.php?A=1234567890

Funky... try doing this in the second file:

print ("GET VARS: ");
print_r ($GET);
print ("REQUEST VARS: ");
print_r ($REQUEST);

print ("GLOBALS: ");
print_r ($GLOBALS);

And let us know if it prints anything... you do have PHP installed and parsing those files correct? Did you try doing a call to phpinfo(); ?
