Re: Can't get URL or POST variables

To last post Funny enough people know about manuals as they are a link close to the download link on the devs site. Although if your new to PHP and the links manuals acn be a little confusing as it mentions more than you need or want to know. People post on these news groups for help not just to be shunted off to a manual link. If that was the case why bother running a news server/group why not just have in big bold letters READ THE MANUAL why cant you try to be a little helpfull and try and sort his prob. To Poster sorry i cant help you as iam new my self and realy have no idea the only thing i can thnk of is have you got the global settings switched on ?
