$request_uri

[zzz]

I used to be able to detect a var within URL but it doesn't appear to be working on my new server. I also can not find it in the manual... kinda lost at the moment.
What is the best way to detect if a variabel is present in the URL?

if (!ereg("VAR1",$REQUEST_URI)) {
echo "blah";
}

My register_global is currently set to OFF. It appear I am unable to use somethign like: code=php[/code]

Use
if (isset($_GET['blah']))

Dah... brilliat solutions are often quite simple.

Also i was able to get my $REQUEST_URI to work. For some reason I have to run this first:

$REQUEST_URI = getenv("REQUEST_URI");
