Variable do not move from on script to the another one.

[l'atelier Ho]

Hello to all

I just download the WAMP (apache-mysql-php) package.
This package work with PHP5.

Aktually I can't move on variable ($id) the next script!

Script: articles.php
...
echo "<td><a target='gauche'
href='affarticle.php?id=$row[0]'><img
src='articles/$row[7]' width='30' height='45'
border='0'></a>";
...

Explorer show me the following information in status line:
.../affarticle.php?id=5

But the affarticle.php script do not know any more the
value $id!

//Debug
Echo "<p>ID: ".$id;
echo "<p>";

The mentioned scripts work very well by the provider!

Until yet I couldn't find out the problem. Do I have to
setup something in Apache or PHP ?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Otto

Use one of these (just in case):

"...{$row[0]}..."
"..." . $row[0] . "..."

> Echo "<p>ID: ".$id;

The right syntax is:

echo "<p>ID: " . $_GET['id'];

Additional info: You may want to read more about "register_globals" within
php.ini & related.

Many thanks for you help. I set the register_globals to On, and now every
thinks work well.

I suggest that you turn it off again and start writing your scripts in such
a way that they needn't register_globals on. There's a good reason for
"off" being the default option: it's a security risk since anyone can set
variables in your script, just creating a GET value.

I only can follow this suggestion and double it, what I meant was NOT to
turn register_globals on but more to read about WHY it is turned off and
how to (easily!) use proper code ;-)

there?

Yes I do, unfortunately most providers do have it on "on" although this is
a security leak.
