Re: Global Variables Off

I assume you mean that the echo statement I gave as an example shows this: The test variable is [] Right? If so, that is truly odd, especially considering you are using 4.2.3. I don't have a good answer for that ... Add this code to the top of your script to see if PHP thinks the client is passing any data at all: echo "<pre>"; print_r($_REQUEST); echo "</pre>"; Chris Paul wrote:

I am passing it via URL as: http://example.org/test.php?test=foo When I do that call to $_GET["test"] shows that variable is not set, however, when I run phpinfo() it shows value assigned to _GET. With no change in code, I turn global variables 'on' and the same page works..

Try this. Create a test script called test.php that looks like this: <? echo "<p>The test variable is [" . $_GET["test"] . "]</p>"; ?> Assuming this script is located at http://example.org/test.php, access this page using a URL like this: http://example.org/test.php?test=foo Chris Paul wrote:

Ok, I have turned global vars off and I have replaced my old $HTTP_GET_VARS with $_GET[] but I seem to not get the values passed. I run the phpinfo and I see the variables being stored as _GET["variable_name"] Is calling $_GET["variable_name"] correct? If so, why would I not get the value? I use it in the following statement (checking if error_message is

empty)

: if ($_GET["error_message"])
