$_GET not working

[Orcas Bob]

I'm having trouble accessing the query string with $_GET.

Using a command line of:  http://localhost:38094/word_passed_in_the_url_is.php?resource=apples

 

My test program gives:

 

_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]: resource=apples

_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]: /word_passed_in_the_url_is.php?resource=apples

var_dump($_REQUEST): array(0) { }

var_dump($_GET): array(0) { }

 

Trying to access $_GET throws an error because it is undefined. It's odd because _SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] is populated.

 

My system is Expressions WEB 3.0 using it's development server, Windows 7, and PHP 5.3.0

 

phpinfo(); runs fine. The folks at the WEB Expression message board have not seen this before.

 

<?php 
echo '<br>_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]:    ' . $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"];
echo '<br>_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]:    ' . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
echo '<br>var_dump($_REQUEST):   ';
var_dump($_REQUEST);
echo '<br>var_dump($_GET):   ';
var_dump($_GET);
echo '<br><br>';
echo '<pre>';
phpinfo();
echo '</pre>';
?>
