[Resolved] Problems passing parameters

[Tincho]

I was using PHP 3 and i hadn´t got problems passing parameters from one page to another, but now I'm using PHP 4.3.1, and when I pass a parameter, the variable is empty in the other page.

I call de other page like this:

new_page.php?aux=1

When I try to use the variable aux in new_page.php, it's empty.

Is it a PHP 4 problem, or there is another way to pass a parameter? I'm confused because it works in PHP 3.

Thanks

this sounds like a register_globals problem, as with most GET POST problems

try using the following to shw your variable

<?
echo $_GET['aux'];
echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['aux'];
echo $_REQUEST['aux'];
?>

whichever works, use it 🙂

Thank you, I can print the parameter in the page, but I can't still assign it to a variable.
I tried echo $get['aux'] and worked, but $data = $get['aux'] didn't work.

to set the variable all you need to do is

<?
$data = $_GET['aux'];

//then you can echo $data out and it will
//hold the same value as the passed paramater

echo $data;
?>

I noticed in your post that you were using $get, you HAVE to use capitals $GET, $POST, $SESSION, etc...

thanks, I tried it and it worked. I didn't know that it's case sensitive.
