Passing variables

[Aybabtu]

I have recently moved domains and now I am having a problem with some of my pages.

The problem is I have a url that looks like the following:

www.sitename.com/news.php?a=11

For some reason is it not passing the variable from the browsers URL to the PHP script.

Any sugestions?

if you are referencing the variable as $a try $GET['a'] instead. and for post, use $POST['a']

Thank you ever so much. That resolved my problem. Weird how it worked on the last site with no issues.

Unfortunetly that happens a lot with php. Just a few differant entries in php.ini and your script falls apart. In the future write your code so that it wil work on any system.

If this worked on your last server and it didn't on the new one, there is a very good reason for this.

In php.ini (the configuration file for PHP), there is a setting calles REGISTER_GLOBALS

When set to true, you can reference variable names sent via POST or GET by their original name ($var).

When set to false, you have to specify that the variable comes form the POST or GET method ($_POST['var'])
