You did more than just turn register_globals off. You also changed your error warning level. You have turned notices on. Set the same error warning level in your PHP 4 setup and you will see exactly the same messages.
To be notice-free, your code should look like this: $action = isset($_GET['action']) ? $_GET['action'] : null; replace null in the above with whatever you want your default action to be there if it is not provided in the URL. -Rasmus Wikus Moller wrote: > Hi to all. > > I am having huge problems running my script, which worked fine on a > server with php 4 and register_globals turned on, on a server with php > 5 and register_globals turned off. > > I get errors around the area in my script where I use $_GET (not the > only error).
