Get value errro

ruap

I have a simple PHP page named show_id.php as below, then I open an IE winow, and type the "show_id.php?id=123456789" in the address window of the IE, the pages only shows "test",no the value of the id was shown on the page. Where is wrong? Thanks!

<html>

<?echo "test<br>\n";

<? echo $id; ?>

</body>
</html>

Probably the now-deprecated register_globals is (correctly) turned off on your PHP host, so you need to reference it via the $GET super-global array. Also, you should use "<?php" instead of "<?", as the "short_open_tags" setting is not always turned on (and is probably also considered deprecated now as it is easily confused with the "<?xml ?>" declaration).

<?php echo $_GET['id']; ?>
