Configure PHP for passing variables

[atropozzz]

ciao!

the following problem: on my development system the passing of variables functions properly. but when i run my site on my provider's environment php scripts execute as they should but it is not possible to pass variables from one page to another. (for example: href="site2.php?var=value" -> it is not possible to obtain the value of $var on site2.php)

is there a special config feature my provider has to set?

thanks in advance!

Your provider probably has register_globals set to off. This way you have to access GET variables (script.php?var=value&var2=value2...) using the $_GET array. If you use POST (forms mostly), you have to use the $_POST array. To access the var URL variable, use $_GET['var'] instead of $var. //Daniel

If your calling the same script over and over, couldn't you just put your variables in your form as hidden fields and then retrieve them with:

echo(&quot;<form name=frmVars>\n&quot;
while (list($name, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
echo (&quot; <input type=\&quot;hidden\&quot; value=\&quot;$value\&quot; name=\&quot;$name\&quot;>\n&quot;
}
echo &quot;</form>\n&quot;;
