Re: Verry strange GET behaviour

On the topic of passing args, can someone please explain to me why I'm unable to use $_GET or $_POST if my php script is run as a .cgi? Basically, I have a simple html input form that has: <form name="testform" action="test.cgi" method="GET"> <input type="text" name="textbox"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> and a simple php script in a file called test.cgi which looks like: #!/usr/local/bin/php <?php print $_GET['testbox']; ?> Now, if I rename this script to test.php, everything works fine, but not while run as a cgi. I have no such problems when implementing the exact same code using Perl, so I'm thinking that php requires a different method of obtaining args when run as a cgi. If anyone can tell me the method, I would greatly appreciate it.
