Warning:Undefined variable/.php?variable

[Anon]

Hi, I encountered the following problem using php4 on win2k pro and apache 1.3.

Everything works fine so far, e.g. phpmyadmin and some other webs I build before on an Linux environment.

But every page I develop on this machine has got the error:
"Warning: Undefined variable .... on line ..."

Variables I put to the page with <a href="page.php?varible1=test">Link</a> e.g.
and try to catch with
<?
if ($variable1 == 'value') {
...
...
}
have no values inside.

Any suggestions to this problem?

Regards
Martin

Do you have 'register_globals' turned on in php.ini?

:-)
just found it by myself.
I turned it on and ouups it worked.

For the ones who had the same problem:
register_globals is set to off by default in PHP4 for security reasons.

You can access these variables submitted to your script by using the $HTTP_GET_VARS['variable_name'] to fetch the value.

The other possibility as Vince posted is to switch your register_globals to "on".

Thanks for your help and regards
