RE: [PHP] Variables not working

Read these: Variables from outside PHP: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php It gives an example using $HTTP_POST_VARS. This is but one predefined variable, others can be read about here: Predefined Variables: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php Also consider extract and import_request_variables, I posted a bit about them awhile back here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=101803683730027 And when in doubt, send your script to a call of phpinfo() and it'll provide a ton of useful information. Regards, Philip Olson p.s. the above links contain links, see those too :) On Sat, 27 Apr 2002, baldey_uk wrote: > Sorry let me rephrase that ' can anyone point me to good docs about passing > variables between html and php' please? > > Cheers > > baldey_uk > > -----Original Message----- > From: Nathan [mailto:etherwolf@sopris.net] > Sent: 27 April 2002 02:34 > To: Rasmus Lerdorf; php-general@lists.php.net; baldey_uk@SoftHome.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] Variables not working > > > Before you get carried away with registering globals, try echoing: > $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]; > > Or, for versions prior to 4.1.X, change that to: > $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]; > > Registering globals is insecure unless you are VERY careful about how every > variable you have is > defined... > > Cheers, > > # Nathan > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Rasmus Lerdorf" <rasmus@lerdorf.ca> > To: "baldey_uk" <> > Cc: <> > Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 6:41 PM > Subject: Re: [PHP] Variables not working > > > Turn on register_globals in your php.ini file. > > On Sat, 27 Apr 2002, baldey_uk wrote: > > > Hello all, im not sure if its my installation or if on doing something > wrong > > but i cant seem to use any of the variables from forms that i PUT to.
