Most certainly, register_globals is OFF in your php.ini. This is the default setting since PHP 4.2, for security reasons. Read http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php on the security issues with register_globals = on. To access parameters, generally use the superglobals arrays $_GET (parameters passed in the URL), $_POST (passed in posted forms), $_REQUEST (both get and post combined), and $_COOKIE (cookies passed to your script). Hope this gets you started. You may always find it helpful to refer to the _extremely_ well done online manual at http://www.php.net/manual/en/. Regards, -- >O Ernest E.
