RE: [PHP] Help with GET variables which do not work after upgrading

Hi Eamon, It looks like you need to upgrade your code to use the superglobal arrays. Change print $unitID; to print $_GET['unitID']; and see if that helps. You can find more information regarding superglobals here: http://uk.php.net/en/language.variables.predefined HTH ============================================ Adrian Portsmouth .htaccess Manager - SilkPHP [e] service@htaccessmanager.com [w] www.htaccessmanager.com ============================================ This email, its contents and attachments are confidential and may be covered by legal privilege.

This could be a settings file change or something more major but I would appreciate any help. Apologies if this is not the right place to post this but I am getting a bit desperate if this is the wrong place please tell me the more appropriate one.
