Re: Re: PHP does not work??

I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I think it would be best that I not use php.ini. I can write the script to register the variable. What would be a demo script that would work? I'm having a little trouble understanding that on the php.net website. Most of the script that use global variables came from hyperlinks. I have no form method like "post" or "get". I have one website that use session. Like session_start(), session_register(), etc. How would this be affected and what is the work around to this one.
