Not Passing URL Variables

I've run into a bit of a snag. I'm trying to pass variables within a URL, but PHP is not seeing it. I'm running v4.2.2 on Linux. The only place I can think that's wrong is within php.ini: arg_separator.output = "&" arg_separator.input = ";&" Not Passing URL Variables Here is an example of what I'm trying to do (connection to db): http://www.amoserve.net/help.php?hid=1 This will create a pg_exec (or pg_query) error. I tried doing some edits to both the URL (including help.php?temp=1&hid=1), and the php.ini file...but not sure what needs to be corrected. Any help would be appreciated.
