What's wrong with my script/url. plz help!!!

Thanks in advance.

I call my php like this
"

http://phptest/test4.php?arg=testarg"

(phptest is my virtualhost name)

My script
---test4.php-----
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test4</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$foo = "foobar";

print ("foo is $foo<br>");
print ("arg is $arg");
?>
</body>
</html>
-------end----------

Result
--------------------
---------snip-----------
foo is foobar
arg is
-------------------------

PS:

I think you must change your script.

You're probably running a version of PHP which has the php.ini setting register_globals set to "off". Leave register_globals set to "off", for the reasons listed here

If register_globals is set to "off", the variable $arg will not be set, but the value is available in $_GET['arg']. See the PHP online manual appendix on Predefined variables

PS

If you can pass an argument (in this case "arg") from another .html script by "post", it is also nice to me.

please help me!!
