Old Script not working, form input

[solex]

Hello,

I use to have lots of pages that used forms to imput info, I havn't used the scripts for 1.5 years, but i tried a symple:

<?php

print $cow;

?>

and then calling up filename.php?cow=printInfo
with out any luck, any idears why its not working, i have looked at the ini file and cant see any thing, i also find it strange as i also use phpnuke on the same account :s

thanx in advance

Seems like a register globals error. In later versions of PHP, register globals (variables that were sent across pages are readily available) is off due to security reasons. If you are trying to call a variable from the url, try $_GET['cow'] or $_POST['cow'] if it is coming from a form with a method post. Here is the discussion as to why register globals should be off.
