configuration: passing variables

[Anon]

I have another problem right now.

I am passing a variable via post and get protocol.

although in the url the variable is passed i print the variable in the page and there is nothing printing.

the function echo is working correctly.

I tried this code

// $a = "blabla";
// echo $a";

and it works correctly.

so i suppose the problem is to pass the variable from the url to the page.

Do you know if there is somewhere declayred?
thanks!

what the *** is this????

i tried everything.

i have this url:

"index.php?a=something"
.

index is this

//<?php
//echo $a;
//?>

and nothing is printed.

And i have in the same directory the phpMyAdmin pages and they work correctly!!!

Can someone tell me what is going on before i shoot myself?

I hope you don't have those slashes in front of your PHP code in the real script?

you can have a look at HTTP_GET_VARS etc in the manual

I found it!
it's in php.ini where you have to turn on register_global.

Php has 2 ini files. the php.ini-dist and the php.ini-optimized. i just took the ini-optimized file. if you take the php.ini-dist file and put it into the winnt directory there will be no problem because the configuration's are wright.

Thank's vincent!

or you can leave register_globals turned off and in your script say:

echo $HTTP_GET_VARS[a];

change that to

echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['a'];

a is not a constant here :-)
