register_globals is disabled on your system, which is a good thing. So you
have to reference all values sent via a form using GET with the $_GET
superglobal array as follows:

"Welcome to our web site, {$_GET[var]}"

or

'Welcome to our web site, ' . $_GET['var']

etc etc

Hi all,

I'm somewhat new to php, though I have played a bit with the language. I'm
currently learning the language, and I'm having a problem passing
variables
through "URL query". Here is what I have:

A simple HTML file that contains:
<A HREF="test.php?var=test"> Hi, this is a test! </A>

and a php file that contains:
<?php
echo( "Welcome to our Web site, $var!" );
?>

However, when I click on the link on the HTML file, I dont get the value
of
$var passed to the php script. I have also tried passing multiple
variables
separated by &, and none of those gets passed to the php script.

The files are hosted on a local Debian etch server running apache 2.0.54and
php 4.3.10.

Is there something I need to check/change in the config files of apache or
php?
