Re: arg parsing

This is a common upgrader's 'register_globals' confusion problem ;-) Basically what it means is that arbitrary values are not parsed in a GET-type request, like your action=new. You must explicitly ask for them.. *I* personally use this (I'm sure others will follow up with their code) at the top of my files: if ($_GET['action']) // $_GET[] is the superglobal for GET requests $action = $_GET['action']; Hope this clears it up! -Jason Phil wrote:

Apologies for revisting any old ground but I am not able to resolve this. I have been running a php script that uses an argument http://..............././process.php?action=new It used to work on linux 7.3 php4 apache 1.3.2 I have just upgraded my test environment to linux 8.0 php4.3.2 apache 2.040 now it doesn't work becuase the arg does not get parsed. I am sure that this is a config issue but I do not know it - any assistance much appreciated. regards Phil
