Passing PHP Variables in a URL

[horwem]

Hi

Having trouble passing variables using a url.

The code is

<a href="temp.php?bg=hello">test</a>

and the temp.php code

<?

echo $_GET['bg'];
?>

The code runs but nothing is shown on the screen, I am running php using IIS.

Can anybody help

Thanks

echo"$bg";

Actually, horwem, which version of PHP are you using?

I would suggest that you upgrade to PHP 4.3.7

In your case, correct was $HTTP_GET_VARS['bg'], as the $_GET superglobal array didnt exist when PHP 4.0.5 was released.
