Passing variables from browser address bar

[dominiopt]

Hi all,

We use one small php script with php mail function in our web. The script did working just fine until we change the web server. We did investigate and we found the new server only accepts variables if we use the post method. We did fix the script. The problem now it was how can we use php scripts if we do the calls directly from the browser address bar ? since in this case we couldn't define the method, as we do if we use one form object.

This example doesn't work

http://domain/file.php?email=abc@def.com

<?php
mail($_POST["email"],

Thanks
Fernando

If the server doesn't support GET variables which I find strange, then its going to be hard to do. If you do

echo $_GET['mail'];

does the variable mail appear inisde the GET superglobal?

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

This is a good way to find out what data is being posted. Add this somewhere in your target php.

echo '<pre>';print_r($_POST);echo "</pre>";die;
