Re: undefined variable: action

Thanks for the advice... The link worked.... Now it is saying this: Notice: Undefined index: action in.... It only says this if there is no action...it goes away once I click the link and the action=someaction.... Is there a way to fix my php so that I dont have to change all of the web sites hosted on my server?? Thanks!

Im pretty new to this, so I have a pretty simple question. I am running an apache server with php 4 on a win 2k machine. When I try to do something like this: <? echo "<a href=\"index.php?action=someaction\">Some Action</a>"; if ($action == "someaction") { echo "Anything"; } ?> It says: Notice: Undefined variable: action in ..... Ive built plenny of pages with simple things like that, and they all work...is it a problem with my apache server??? Thanks in advance [/snip] You probably updated PHP recently and register_globals is now 'off'. Try if($_GET['action'] == "someaction"){ do foo } HTH! Jay
