Strange Variable Problem

[Anon]

On the website I'm working on, none of the pages will process variables that are passed to them. This happenes if the output form uses get or put.

For example, if a page was, mysite.com/test.php?var=hello
and the contents were:
<?PHP echo $var;?>
I get a blank page.
There are no errors and PHP works perfectly for processing information on variables that are declaired within the script.
This is happpening on every single page of every single site of the server!! I don't know if it's an Apache problem or a PHP problem or what.

Does anyone have any ideas?

1. Make Error Reporting

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

2. Make Register Globals

register_globals = On

3. Learn how to script without either of the two above.

if (isset($_POST["variablename1"])) {

(not contiguous code)

echo($_GET["variablename2"]);

Note no $ in above variablename.

You're right - that's it.

<?PHP
$var =($_GET["var"]);
echo "the var is $var";
?>

it works. I've worked on plenty of different servers and I haven't had to use the $_GET before. Where in the PHP configuration do i change this so that I don't have to go through 1000s of pages??

Thanks for the help so far.
