Bug #17936 Updated: GET variables have no value

ID: 17936 Updated by: cynic@php.net Reported By: strelitz@kona.net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: windows 2000 sp2 IIS 5.0 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to be off. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info. We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-23 18:47:57] strelitz@kona.net Variables passed in via a GET are inexplicable undefined. I wrote a simple script to receive a variable passed in through an URL, and print it. The problem is the variable is undefined, though if I put a phpinfo() function in the script, its output correctly shows my variable and its value. Contents of "test.php" script: <html><head><title>test</title></head> <body> <?php if (empty($test)) { echo 'parameter "test" undefined';} else { echo 'parameter "test" value is "' . $test . '"' ;} phpinfo(); ?> </body> </html> URL call: http://localhost/test.php?test=hello Output is "Parameter 'test' undefined" I expected "Parameter 'test' value is 'hello'" Though the phpinfo output shows "test=hello" in the QUERYSTRING variable and "fff" in the _GET["test"] variable. Am I missing something obvious? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17936&edit=1
