Re: newbie question regarding URL parameters

You'll probably get 50 answers to this, but here's probably what happened. There's a setting called "register globals" that will turn your name=me and age=27 into $name = "me" and $age = "27". It used to be turned ON by default. This was generally considered to be bad security, so it now defaults to OFF. To get these variables, just use the $_GET system variable. $name = $_GET['name']; $age = $_GET['age']; Easy! Best of luck! -TG = = = Original message = = = Hello, I have a newbie question regarding URL parameters. The PHP script I wrote need to read parameters passed in from a URL, so as an example http://my.domain/myscript.php?name=me&age=27 and my script would use $name to get the value for name and $age to get the value for age. Everything was working fine until the sysadmin did a upgrade of the PHP server, and $name and $age both give me nothing. I am just wondering if the latest version of PHP has changed the way to access url parameters. If so, what would be the correct way of doing it? Please help.
