in url variables not workin

[edmarriner]

hey,

 

For some reason if i put a variable in the url it is not picked up

 

for example

 

www.example.com/profile.php?id=1

 

but if i put

 

echo "$id";

 

in the page it comes out as blank.

 

Its not the code becuase it works fine localy but its not working when i upload it to my server.

 

is it somthing to do with a setting in php on the server?

 

cheers,

You need to use

 echo $_GET['id'];

and yes, on your server register globals is disabled (as it should be as it is a security risk having it enabled)

locally it has register globals enabled (which ideally shouldnt be enabled)
