Re: passing with get?

Agreed. It's even more complicated: PHP 3: global variable $foo - always $HTTP_*_VARS - depending upon track_vars PHP 4 < 4.0.3 global variable $foo - depending upon register_globals $HTTP_*_VARS - depending upon track_vars PHP 4 >= 4.0.3 global variable $foo - depending upon register_globals $HTTP_*_VARS - always As someone mentioned before, the actual value of the variable available in the script depends on gpc_order / variables_order directive. To add insult to the injury, behavior of $HTTP_*_VARS arrays has changed during existence of PHP 4 - from the GET/POST pair, PHP created only the one coresponding to the request method used. Now it creates both, irregardless of the request method. Same can be said about $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS etc, i. e. it's created even if the client sends no cookie. IIRC, it even didn't create the $HTTP_GET_VARS array if there were no GET variables in the request. I believe it behaved the same with POST.
