I installed IIS, PHP and MySQL on my windows XP machine. I am able ot get scripts like "Hello World!" to work but when I try to pass data with Get and Post the receiving psp scripts do not see the data.

I have tried http://localhost/Winestore/example.5-2.php?regionName=all but the the var regionName is not sent to the receiving script.

Any help here?

I have gone into the IIS and added php to the ISAPI filters. It shows that the status is not loaded. I set it to c:\php\php4ts.dll.

Surely somebody is using IIS with php on a home system running xp out there.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

TIA.

Frank

    It doesn't set $regionName, it set $_GET['regionName'].

      Can you post your code - or give this a try:

      <?php
	echo 'Hello...<br>';
	echo "regionName in a string = $_GET[regionName]<br>";
	echo 'regionName outside string = '.$_GET['regionName'];
?>

      Just in case you didn't know about the not needing single quotes about the variable index inside double quotes I've done it both ways.

      Run it with something like

      http://localhost/Php/get-test.php?regionName=you%20alright,%20Jean?%20%20Legs%20been%20playin'%20you%20up%20lately?

        print_r($_GET);

        would seem like the thing to do to me 😉

          Here is examp 5.2 which is supposed to send a regionName.

          When I run the above example all I get is an error that var regionName

          Undefined variable: regionName in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Winestore\example.5-1.php

            The script is expecting you to have register_globals on, so I suggest you ignore that fact and change it to $_GET['regionName'], but you said that didn't work (but alas, that's a different problem)...

              OK,

              I put this line in:

              echo "RegionName is " . $_GET[regionName] . "\n";

              Now I get:

              Notice: Use of undefined constant regionName - assumed 'regionName' in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Winestore\example.5-1.php on line 29
              RegionName is Riverland

              This newbie is confused.

              How do I turn register-globals on?

              In the Php.ini?

              Whatever I need to do I will do.

              🙁

                Had to put quotes around the var:

                echo "RegionName is " . $_GET['regionName'] . "\n";

                Thanks you for your help!

                🙂 🙂
