PureEvil Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Howdy: I downloaded and setup Fedora 6 last night (never tried anything like this before). The download, install and setup went really fast and smooth, however after I installed, and started httpd (apache) and mySQL, I couldn't get any of my old .php scripts to work. So after playing around for a bit and making some simple test scripts it appears that POST and GET do not work. Hard coded $vars work just fine, but anything like http://url/page.php?n=var does not work, nor does POSTed vars. Q: is there a way to turn on or off POST and GET, and if so how? Q: does this sound like the correct problem? Could it be something else? I figured something would come up with an issue simply because this install was just too easy. I'm pretty damn amazed with how easy Fedora/Apache/mySQL/PHP was to setup. Thanks in advance for any and all help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 There is a setting in your php.ini called register_globals. By default (now and for a long time) it has been set to off for security reasons. Setting this to on will fix your problem but open some security holes, leaving it of and using the $_POST[] and $_GET[] arrays to access your values is the prefered and recomended aprouch.

solarisuser Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Listen to thorpe, and then simply use <? print_r($_GET); print_r($_POST); ?> to see your variables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
