[Resolved] include and variables

[scoppc]

i have a strange problem here.
I developed a SMS application on my windows box and it runs very well.
when I moved it to my server (Redhat 9.0), it gives me a problem.
Here is the illustration:

//this is getdata.php
$msisdn=$_GET['MSISDN'];

//this is smsbox.php
include("getdata.php");
print $msisdn;

so, when I enter http://mydomain.com/smsbox.php?MSISDN=628127554059, I'll have the value of MSISDN printed coz it has been captured by the file 'getdata.php' which I include in 'smsbox.php'. However, it gave me a blank page!
Anybody has a clue on this?

[zhabala]

what about the register_globals set to on in php.ini ?

register_globals shouldnt matter here, zhabala, since scoppc has already taken care of that by using $_GET['MSISDN']

What if you test by using
echo $_GET['MSISDN'];
in smsbox.php?

If it works, then it could imply that the include isnt working (wrong path?), but is simply being silently discarded as error reporting is not set to include E_NOTICE

Perhaps using require() would be better?
