Passing Vars over URL

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I came up this problem today:
I tried to pass a variable to a script creating a URL like:

article.php?id=25

Unfortunately it appears $id is quite empty. Is there some setting I need to alter?
It used to work in the past (php4 that is).
Also, I don't have great access to the settings so is there also a workaround besides changing the ini file?

Thank you in advance!

now the query string is parsed into "SUPERGLOBALS"

The ?GET query string can be accessed with the SuperGlobal $_GET (Array)

eg.

[code]<?php
$id = $_GET["id"];
echo $id;
?>[/code]

This was changed because from earlier versions of PHP for security and performance concerns. POST vars are now stored in $_POST :)
hth..

NOTE: you can also turn on the 'old skool' methods in php.ini
