ID: 18998 Comment by: nospam at imaginacolombia dot com Reported By: trolldude at gmx dot net Status: Bogus Bug Type: URL related Operating System: win2k / linux PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: you must use the $_GET and $_POST arrays, in test2.php try <?php echo $_GET["var"]; ?> http://www.imaginacolombia.com Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-20 21:26:04] sniper@php.net In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to '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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-20 17:32:38] trolldude at gmx dot net hi, my isp updated to php 4.2.2 since then all my scripts worked fine, as they should. after the update nothing worked anymore. here sample script test.php -------- <?php $test = 1; echo ("<a href=./test2.php?var=".$test.">test</a>"); ?> test2.php --------- <?PHP echo $var; ?> so test2.php echoed nothing. i tried a lot and after installing php 4.2.2 locally, ich found out that in php.ini following lines were commented out: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Data Handling ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; ; Note - track_vars is ALWAYS enabled as of PHP 4.0.3 ; The separator used in PHP generated URLs to separate arguments. ; Default is "&". ;arg_separator.output = "&amp;" ; List of separator(s) used by PHP to parse input URLs into variables. ; Default is "&". ; NOTE: Every character in this directive is considered as separator! ;arg_separator.input = ";&" after activating arg_seperator.output + input all my scripts worked fine again. so MY problem now is that my i cant fix it locally but i and i think a lot of more people cant chang php.ini on my ISP Site. is it possible to make this public somewhere on php.net so that also the ISPs will read when downloading ? thanx Markus Brendler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18998&edit=1
