Cobalt XTR - Query string completely ignored

Having some wierd, wierd problems with my Cobalt XTR. PHP 4.1.2's installed on it (from Sun). I've never, ever been able to get $_REQUEST['query']; type stuff working on it, it always results with it being blank - no matter what I set Magic Quotes/Register globals to. No idea why, but its suddenly stopped letting me use direct variables from the query string (i.e. $id in the sceneraio of blah.php?$id=blah). Can't figure out why. Means all PHP on my server's now rendered pretty much useless. See forwarded email below too, I sent a simular question (again) to the Cobalt users mailing list, but I never get any response. Thanks.

Hiya. I'm having even *more* fun with PHP now (sigh). For some reason, the web interface on my XTR has completely stopped working. This happened a few weeks ago, but I never use it anyway, so it wasn't a biggie. I can't think of anything I did that would have caused it to happen. I had a backup of a php.ini a while ago (was playing with it to get magic quotes [i.e. $_REQUEST] working), I restored this & restarted apache, but to no effect. I just tried this simple PHP script: <? echo $id; $id2 = $_REQUEST['id2']; echo $id2; ?> If I call this "test.php", theoretically browsing to http://website/test.php?id=TEST&id2=TEST should show up "TEST" twice. Failing that, if register globals is on, $id should show up - and if magic quotes is on, $id2 should show. Nothing's coming up. They're certainly enabled in php.ini. PHP isn't seeing any of the stuff after ? (parameters I guess you could call them?) Just tried to compile & install my own PHP (4.2.3) then, keeping backups - instead, webpages come up completely blank. Aaargh. This isn't making any sense ;-( Any ideas anybody? R
