$_GET

[Jimbo17]

I made a webpage to put on my shared hosting server which uses Apache, PHP, and MySQL. I made the entire site out of one php file and switched between sections using if statements and $GET['page'].... This worked great on the shared hosting site, but for some reason when I load it on my home Apache2, PHP 4.3.4, and MySQL it will not read the links ?page= into a $GET (if that makes sense =\ ) ANy ideas as to what is wrong here? TIA!

you might have globals = ON

As I have understood $GET:
$GET is a global request that is more secure and used when globals are off.

Check your apache settings in httpd.conf file.

I might be wrong!

eh there shouldnt be any difference to whether u have it on or off...

instead of pointing out my mistakes - try helping out the author of this thread.

lolz I am helping him out BY POINTING out your mistakes so he doesnt make a mistake like you did :p
Well from what you said, that it worked on the shared hosting and the SAME EXACT code didnt work on your serve,r I would check for your quotings etc. Did you get any errors?

just for the record..

I had some issues with errors concerning $POST and $GET, but I got around them. The PHP documentation said something about not allowing globals anymore... Is this the case? Also, Thanks for your reply

dragOn was right - you still have $_GET available whether register_globals is on or off. And Panoz, didn't I help you with a textarea problem earlier? so drop the attitude, dude 😃

Jimbo - put a page up containing the following code

<?PHP
phpinfo();
?>

call it phpinfo.php and then load it up using the url phpinfo.php?test=working

Scroll down to the 'php variables table', and in the left hand column you should have a _SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] entry. The value in the right hand column should read test=working.

A bit further up, you should have a _GET['test'] entry in the left hand column. This should say 'working'

If these are working, then we can be fairly sure it's your script thats causing probs. If so, post some (relevant) code.

SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] read as "no value" and there is no GET['test'] entry on the phpinfo page.

Hi

With register_globals off (as it is on my local PC) this is THE easiest way of getting POST, GET and COOKIE variables. Bang the code in at the top of the file. Personally, I have set them up in a separate file and include that file.

The commented out line with print the variables out for you (handy for debugging):

// read all the POST variables (if register_globals is off)
foreach (array_keys($_POST) as $key)
{ 
	$$key = $_POST[$key]; 
//	print "POST variable $key is ${$key}<br />"; 
}

//read all the cookie variables
foreach (array_keys($_COOKIE) as $key)
{ 
	$$key = $_COOKIE[$key]; 
//	print "Cookie variable $key is ${$key}<br />"; 
}

//read all the GET variables
foreach (array_keys($_GET) as $key)
{ 
	$$key = $_GET[$key]; 
//	print "GET variable $key is ${$key}<br />"; 
}

not quite the easiest way. you can do the same with extract

extract($_POST);
extract($_COOKIE);
extract($_GET);

and jimbo is saying there is no value stored in the array, so that won't fix it.

nice code tho
