i cannot pass variables to php script...

Hi! I have a problem with passing variables to php script with simple GET. example: --- hello.html ----------------------------- <html><head><title="hello"></head> <body> <a href="hello.php?arg=world">hello</a> </body> </html> --- hello.php ------------------------------ <? printf("arg=$arg<br>"); ?> output from clicking on the link is: arg= I should mention that I use mod_userdir and the script/html are lying in home directory for the user ( /home/username/public_html/...), and URL=http://server/~username/hello.html I am attaching output of phpinfo() and a copy of httpd.conf .htaccess file is empty btw.
