Re: Problem : track_vars stopped working.

Maybe you should read about what you're installing before you install it. Register_globals is off in PHP 4.1+ by default, so your variables aren't created. You can use $_GET["text"] to get the variable, though. Or you can turn on register_globals in your php.ini and face the security consequences if you're scripts aren't written properly. ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johan Ekström" <info@dynamicduo.nu> To: "PHP Windows Discussion List" <php-windows@lists.php.net>; "PHP General Discussion List" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 11:39 AM Subject: [PHP] Problem : track_vars stopped working. Okay, mystery to me, when I installed PHP 4.2.1 on Apache 2.0.35, the track_vars function, stopped working. a simple command like, example : file : default.php ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ <? echo("$text"); ?> then I type in the address in ie6, like : http://127.0.0.1/default.php?text=this but it doesn't show anything. it becomes a blank page instead of echoing out "this". Now, I thought track_vars was set to "Off" but in php.ini, it stood that it always was on. So, now I'm stuck... I'm using the php4apache2.dll module, which I suppose may be the problem, but I don't think they would have forgotten this function in that file. Anyone got any idée's??? I kind of need that function to do multipages. johan ekström johan.ekstrom@dynamicduo.nu http://www.dynamicduo.nu/
