Re: Vars not accepted in script.php?var=xy

When uploading this question, I received an older answer: > - is it now neccessary to define variables before I use them??? No, but realize 4.2 changed how variables are referenced. By default register_globals is set to off now. - Steve Yates and that's it: when I set register_globals to 'on' it's working - thank's Steve! But since it is recommended to use 'off' (and will be standard in the future): does that mean that it's not longer possible to pass variables in an URL???? greetings, Uwe Uwe Birkenhain schrieb in Nachricht <20020701074810.534.qmail@pb1.pair.com>... >Hi, >I try to use PHP on my Win98 PC.
