Re: grabbing variables from the query string

if register_globals setting is on (in php.ini) then $foo will be available, otherwise use the predefined variable HTTP_GET_VARS : index.php?foo=blah print $foo; print $HTTP_GET_VARS['foo']; http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#ini.register-globals btw, you'll note predefined variable QUERY_STRING exists in there too :-) regards, philip On Sat, 28 Apr 2001, Jamie Saunders wrote: > Hi, > > How do you grab variables from a query string in a URL? > I've used this with ASP and it would be done as follows: > > firstName = request.querystring("fName") > > I've tried different variations of this in my PHP pages but I can't seem to > get it to work.
