Passing variable in php5

[wheatcom]

We just upgraded from php4 to php 5.2.6.  I can't seem to pass a variable from one page to the next.  Register Globals are on.

 

Page One Snipet:

 

<a href="downloadfile.php4?fileID=<?php echo $row["ID"]; ?>">

 

Page Two Snipet:

 

<?php

 

global $fileID;

 

if(!is_numeric($fileID))

 

die("Invalid fileID specified");

 

---------------------------------

 

And we get the die message.

 

This worked in php4.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

First of all, the global keyword has absolutely no meaning outside of a function definition.

 

Your code is dependent on register_globals being on to magically populate $fileID from $_GET['$fileID']. Use $_GET['$fileID'] instead.

Dont you mean $_GET['fieldID'] not $_GET['$fieldID']
