[Resolved] url query string question

[juxstapose]

Hello,

I installed php 4.3.8 for a web app I am maintaining. The previous developer's approach for switching between modes in the app relied on the url string. (index.php?mode=edit)

In the code he references the mode just as a variable ie. $mode. However, in the intial default setting only $_GET['mode'] is working. Is there an option to make php recognize $mode in the query string?

Thanks

Turn on register_globals.

Though, this really is not suggested. You should code so register_globals doesn't have to be on.

do a global search and replace of $mode with $GET['mode'] though he probably did this with all the variables. I would recommend writting an app that will update the site by parsing the files and attempting to figure out what variables should actually be $GET or $_POST variables.
