variables disappear.

Hi, This is not something that is happening to me it's of someone from Italian PHP mailing List. Here's the problem (I guess it's a rear one) : Variables Completely disappear. example (of that guy) file1.php: <? echo '<A HREF="file2.php?var=whatever">Link</A>'; ?> file2.php: <? echo $var; ?> Simple isn't it? But the guy claims it doesn't work for him. We advised him to use HTTP_GET_VARS, GLOBALS, isset() but he still claims that it doesn't help anything. Is that real? I mean, how could that happen? Where is his problem? I haven't even imagined that something like this could ever happen. I am still waiting for him to tell me more about his system and what does his phpinfo() say.. Any ideas gurus? Cheers, Maxim Maletsky - maxim@j-door.com <mailto:maxim@j-door.com> Webmaster, J-Door.com / J@pan Inc. LINC Media, Inc.
