[PHP] Re: missing $_GET

[Ric Manalac]

What PHP version is known to cause this type of problem? Does anyone
know what specific configuration setting causes the $_GET to not catch
values passed through the querystring?

My hosting company's PHP version is 4.3.4. Below are some info from phpinfo():

register_globals is set to On

 Possibly the PHP version your using, try looking at the PHP manual and
 also getting your PHP version by placing ? phpinfo(); ?
 into a file and running it in your browser, see this document for other
 methods:-

[PHP] missing $_GET

[Ric Manalac]

Hello,

I've encountered a weird problem with using $_GET. I've recently moved
to a new hosting company and an old code suddenly stopped working
correctly.

From my index page, I pass a value through the querystring to another
PHP script. The querystring parameter goes like ?catid=500.

In the script that attempts to get the value, I have the following code:

if (isset($_GET[catid]))
{
   $catid = $_GET[catid];
}
else
{
   $catid = 1;
}

What used to happen was $catid is assigned the value of $_GET[catid]
if the catid parameter is passed through the querystring. But what
happens now is $catid is always set to 1 because $_GET[catid] seems
to be always blank now. I've already tried removing the isset()
check and went directly assigning the value as such:

$catid = $_GET[catid];

... but it still returned a blank value. What's happening to my
$_GET values? 

I hope someone can help. Is this something that can be
fixed by changing some configuration on the server? Is there something
that I need to change with my code?

Thanks!

Ric
