[Resolved] Passing variables from the URL

[phpdeano]

I am using a host as stated by my client.
They have "register_globals" set to "Off".

I have script

$test = $_POST['test'];
echo "the id is ",$test;

I believe this is correct, yet if I type the URL in the browser and add ?test=3 to the end I get no variable passed.

I think I have done this correctly and all of the threads I have read say this will work, but it doesn't.

The script is at
http://www.downend-motors.co.uk/test/pleasework.php

Using
http://www.downend-motors.co.uk/test/pleasework.php?test=3

Gets no results.

Please help, about to go insane!

I have now resolved my problem.

Whilst I could not get the variables from the url to work I have reconfigured my Flash menu to pass the variables as opposed to adding them to the URL
