Is that page actually parsing anything? Do a view source and see if the php code is showing up in the browser. Try this instead <?php echo 'Expand is: ' . $expand; ?> If PHP is just not passing the variable value you should get Expand is: If you still get nothing...there's something else at work Sincerely, Craig Vincent ------------------------- Senior Programmer Jazzmonkey Media Inc. http://www.jazzmonkey.com ------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Challen [mailto:Andrew@Challen.karoo.co.uk] > Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 3:43 PM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] querystring doesn't work!!!! > > > i have a page entitled form.php and i'm sending a string into it so it > becomes > > form.php?expand=test > > now in the page i have > > <?php echo $expand ?> > > this should cause 'test' to be written to the page and indeed it > does on one > machine that i use, on the other (independant machine) it doesn't work and > nothing is produced atall!!!?!?! > > I'm completely baffeled and can't work out why this is.... anyone? > > both machines are windowsNT both running apache and php works fine other > than that , ie i can access a mysql database on either machine... > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
