Can't send variables throught a page...

[iranor]

I use Apache 2 and PHP 5.0.5.

I created a small page that I called test.php which contains:


<?
echo $testvar;
phpinfo();
?>

If I type the address test.php?testvar=anything, i see nothing on the page. Same while defining $testvar='something'; on the file....

The phpinfo is working well, but it doesn't wants to manipulate variable... any idea?

Ahh thanks. That explains why phpmyadmin was working fine... I was sure it was on, since I never changed it to off..

The default is off. If you haven't changed it, that's what it will be.

as a side note, the article recomends to keep register_globals off.

in order for test.php?testvar=anything to work, you would need to put in the code

$testvar=$_GET['testvar'];
