Real strange - variables get lost...??

[Anon]

I have the following setup - Apache2 and PHP 4.2.1 running on XP professional...

If i call a php page adding a variable to the address like test.php?id=123 and then want to do anything with the variable I get a "Undefined variable: id in ...\test.php on line xxx"...

what is wrong with my setup??

I have never had any similar problem with php and apache on either windows and linux. This is the first time i use the second version of Apache - might that be it? I rather think it is some fault in my php.ini. But I cannot find it...

Many thanks in advance,
nmk

You're another victim of the changes made to PHP 4.2.0 and later version. register_globals is now off by default.

Set register_globals = on in php.ini, or use $_GET['id']. The manual has more on this under "predefined variables" or "superglobals".
