php code won't work after setting register_globals to 'off'

[limey]

I have the following code that works with register_globals = on

echo("<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?query=$query&page=$back_page&limit=$limit\">back</a>\n");

echo("<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?query=$query&page=$ppage&limit=$limit\">$i</a>\n");

echo("<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?query=$query&page=$next_page&limit=$limit\">next</a>\n");

It will not work once I set register_globals = off

Any suggestions ? Is it to do with $PHP_SELF ?

Yes, it has everything to do with $PHP_SELF.

You should use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead.

Using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] gives me the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2

Too bad :p

Actually, when you make changes, post the updated code.

For example:

echo "<a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?query=$query&page=$back_page&limit=$limit\">back</a>\n";

echo "<a href=\"" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?query=$query&page=$back_page&limit=$limit\">back</a>\n";
