    i just switched servers, and before everything worked out just fine...but now i have pages like...

    profile.php?id=2

    but it's treating it as if it's not picking up the $id after the ?...although it used to on our other server...so i was thinking my settings arent right or maybe im using the wrong version of something, my current php version is 4.3.6...but i dont know where to look to try to fix the problem

    Your new server is (correctly) setup with REGISTER GLOBALS turned off.

    With that off, variables in the URL, such as your "id=2" are not automatically turned into $id. Rather, you'll have to reference them by the global variable $_GET .... ie:

    $_GET['id'] should be set to "2" now.

    You can get around this by doing something like this at the top of your script:



    Code: [copy]





    However, this defeats the purpose of having the automatic registration of those variables off. You should do some error and sanity checking on them before making them global as I showed above.

    might also work with :


    Code: [copy]




    and note the two $$ in front of var.
    jcokos's might be safer though
    If you can't find any nice, central place to put this, like in a config file or something, you can look at the auto prepend stuff in php, put that in your .htaccess file.

    check to see if your script has got a new version that doesn't have to work with register globals turned on - if you can upgrade, you will probably be more secure, and won't have to do all this.
