Re: Problem with GET variables

hi sid, this is often discussed here. if you use your local installation only for development purposes, you can set register_globals = on in php.ini. but if you want a more secure plattform, leave it off and write you scripts with $_GET[]. (some additional help: http://de3.php.net/manual/function.extract.php). so you also don't rely on register_globals by hosting externally. ciao SVEN "Sid" <sidh@hathway.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:011801c339d1$9e4f6fa0$1700a8c0@webqueztserver... > Hello, > > I just updated PHP on my local computer from PHP 4.0.2 to 4.3.2 (Yes, I know, its a very very long time). I also downloded the latest version of Apache and installed PHP as a module. Now PHP runs fine on the server. I have a small problem though. Variables being sent via the GET method are not getting parsed. I can acess these variables via the $_GET["variable"] method but not through $variable. Any idea why. Most of my old PHP scripts accessed the variables directly by their name and so this will be a very very big problem for me. Any idea how I can get this old feature back. > > Thank you. > > - Sid >
