Problem: Passing Variables with href localy

[alsaffar]

Hi guys,

The follwing script is not working localy while its working fine on the net, the problem is I can't see the variable the I passed with the link, I tried so many ways to replace $Parameter with $HTTP_POST_VARS and $HTTP_SESSION_VARS ...etc but nothing is working, I know the solution is realy easy and silly but I couldn't find it by my self.

Please feed me back guys

Test.php:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Parameter:
<? echo $Parameter; ?><BR>
<a href=Test.php?Parameter=1>Test the Parameter</a>
-----------------------------------------------------------

OS: Windows XP Pro
Browser: IE 6
Apache: 2.0.4
PHP: 4.2.2

I've run into the same problem. Here's another related question: Why is this working on the net server but a local network server does not pass the variable?

I have a similar set-up... Mac OSX running Apache with PHP on my home network. I use a Windows 98 box to author pages and then access them on the local Mac test server. The variable $page does not pass on my local OSX test server but it works fine on my hosting provider's server. KarveR's remark is useful but I am curious why this happens in the first place. Can I be enlightened?

<a href=index.php?pagecontent=$page>Click me</a>

You probably have register_globals off, while your hoster has it on. If you use $_GET['page'] instead of $page, that line should work. //Daniel

Also the difference in versions of PHP will change behaviour of the way globals are assigned and collected. ______________________________________________________________________

Thanks for the info. There seem to be some good classes at phpclasses.org that can update variable references...
