passing variables

[Anon]

I'm passing variables from a form (using GET method) to another page. But in the second page i'm not able to access the variables using a simple statement such as:
echo $username;
(Apache will log the error as username undefined).
I can get at the variable using $HTTP_GET_VARS.

Thanks in advance,
sukunya

check your php.ini that
register_globals = On

If your using PHP >= 4.2.0, then register_globals is turned off by default. I reccomend keeping that setting, and using the default superglobals with php

$_POST['username']

Actually you should use $GET("varName") since you are using the get method. or you could use $REQUEST("varName") it serves as
$POST("varname") or $GET("varname") or $SESSION("varName") but use it with caution, it has a pecking order. I'd stick with $GET(" ") since you're action is get.

Picard, you need to use [] instead of () with arrays
