[PHP] PHP URL query
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 2.0.54 and php 4.3.10. Is there something I need to check/change in the config files of apache or php?

Try $_GET['var'].
echo( Welcome to our Web site, {$_GET['var']}! );
Two things you should note:
- using $var would be using register_globals which is depricated.
(http://us2.php.net/register_globals)
- echoing out get variables can lead to a XSS attack. (read
http://ha.ckers.org/xss.html)
As many like to point out, please read http://phpsec.org/ for some
security articles since most tutorials always strip any security
related code for simplicity.

Re: [PHP] PHP URL query
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
