RE: [PHP-WIN] I've found the cause of the error but I cant fix it.

It sounds like a fairly common problem. You probably want to check the entry in your PHP.INI file: register_globals = Off You might have had it turned ON before in which case you wouldn't have to use $_POST or $_GET to get the values of the variables, they're automatically assigned to whatever the $_POST or $_GET variable name is. For security reasons, you really should set it to OFF (as illustrated above). Sample code/example follows: ------------- Before Reinstall (assuming "register_globals = ON") --------------- HTML: <input type="text" name="testvariable" value="50"> PHP: Echo "Value of testvariable is: $testvariable"; Output: Value of testvariable is: 50 ------------- After Reinstall (assuming "register_globals = OFF") ---------- HTML: <input type="text" name="testvariable" value="50"> PHP: Echo "Value of testvariable is: $testvariable"; Output: Value of testvariable is: (no value is present in $testvariable because it's not automatically assigned when "register_globals" is turned off) ------------- After Reinstall ("register_globals = OFF") ---------- HTML: <input type="text" name="testvariable" value="50"> PHP: $testvariable = $_REQUEST["testvariable"]; Echo "Value of testvariable is: $testvariable"; Output: Value of testvariable is: 50 (no value is present in $testvariable because it's not automatically assigned when "register_globals" is turned off) Try something like that. -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: Alejandro César Garrammone [mailto:agarrammone@afip.gov.ar] > Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 12:39 AM > To: Gryffyn, Trevor > Cc: php-windows@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] I've found the cause of the error but > I cant fix it. > > > I understands you well but the problem is a week ago with a > OS Win98 all the pages funcioned very well, but when I install > WinXP, and configure the mysql, apache and php and I tested with > the same pages I've used on W98 it's not working. > Where is the configuring problem? > > If you need some of the files like php.ini and httpd.conf, > tell me and I'll send you those files. > > Thxs for helping me!!! > > Alex > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Gryffyn, Trevor" <TGryffyn@air-cargo-inc.com> > To: <php-windows@lists.php.net> > Cc: "Alejandro César Garrammone" <agarrammone@afip.gov.ar> > Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 1:18 PM > Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] I've found the cause of the error but > I cant fix it. > > > If you're used to running on a system with register_globals > turned ON then > you might run into a snag with something like this since the > GET and POST > values aren't automatically assigned to the variables you're > trying to echo. > > You need to do: > > $variablename = $_GET["variablename"]; > > Or... > > $variablename = $_POST["variablename"]; > > Or.. > > $variablename = $_REQUEST["variablename"]; > > > The last one (REQUEST) will populate the $variablename > variable with either > GET or POST data so can be used for either.
