how to get vars after "xxx.php?"

[vsc123]

win2k+apache+php4.
ex:
in a.php:
<a href="b.php?para=get">link</a>

in b.php:
<?php
echo $para;
?>

i think i would show "get" string, but there is nothing.
why???

in b.php:
<?php
echo $_GET["para"];
?>

Is

register_argc_argv

in your php.ini set on?

If not, try that.
