Passing Variables

[PGT92]

I just recently moved to a new server. With the old server, I could easily pass variables through the url... for example:

http://www.mydomain.com/test.php?var=55

...and I could immediately use $var anywhere in the script 'test.php' and its value would be '55'.

After moving to the new server, this doesn't work and several of my scripts are failing. I was originally using PHP 4.2.2, but I upgraded to 4.3.4 and the problem persists. I'm not sure what version my old server was running.

Is this a problem with the PHP version, or is it a configuration oversight?

Thanks!

It's a configuration problem, your updated version will have the directive register_globals set to 0 (off) as a security measure. You need to use the superglobal ($GET, $POST, $SESSION, $COOKIE etc) arrays to access your data, or set register_globals to 1 (not recommended)
