transfer of data between scripts

[zgy]

Hi,
I'm readind a book abt. php with all examples there based on PHP3. I run PHP4 so I try to pass a variable to a php script from a html page(which works), then i try to follow a link on the script- generated page to another page (which is meant to demonstrate how variables can be passed between scripts using manual URL-encoding) but this generates error on the second page.
Is this some new feature of PHP4 or is it the effect of "register globals off" directive - which is the default in PHP4?
Thanks

if register_globals is OFF then you must refer to your get variables as $_GET['var'] instead of $var
