help with url variables - not being seen anymore

[twintriode]

Hello,

Have set up a few simple scripts lately on some new servers and PHP does not appear to be working the same way. I cannot seem to do this anymore:

IN a form

<td><a href=<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>?id=<?php echo $myrow["id"] ?>&link=yes>Edit</a> </td>

I can no use this URL variable with a simple

if ($link){

Do stuff

}

Can anybody tell me what might be the problem?

Thanks

Somebody really needs to write a faq, I think this question gets asked every other day.

http://us4.php.net/register_globals

There's your problem.

You should be using $_GET['link'] not $link

If you must use $link, you can turn register_globals on in your php.ini, but please read the above link to find out why this is not a good idea.
