Re: Can't get $_GET to work

5.0.4-Win32 with Xitami 2.4 I posted here because it seemed probable that I need to set a switch somewhere, although I haven't touched anything vital AFAIK. Xitami is passing the file to PHP all right, and PHP is processing it to some extent. The source code for the resultant b.php page is <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> name: <br> Hello<br> </body> </html> so it's recognising the tag, it manages the echo. I've just tried <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> name: <?php echo $_GET['xname']; $v[0] = "Hello"; ?> <br> ... <?php echo $v[0]; ?>... <br> </body> </html> and still get "Hello" so it manages arrays, I've changes name to xname in case it's a keyword clash or something silly like that, the query string has the data there, but $_GET (and $_POST) just don't happen. I'm running out of ideas.

What version of PHP are you using? Ian Bambury wrote:

Thanks for that, unfortunately it hasn't fixed the problem, true though it may be. files now read: <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> name: <form action="b.php" method="get"> <input type="text" name="xname"><br> <input type="submit" value="send"> </form> </body> </html> ------------------ <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> name: <?php echo $_GET['xname']; $v = "Hello"; ?> <br> <?php echo $v; ?> <br> </body> </html> Querystring = http://127.0.0.1/b.php?xname=fred ...but still no joy. The "Hello" turns up, though. Thanks, Ian .
