$_GET problem in PHP5

[mcmuney]

I was using the line below, which was working prior to upgrading my PHP to 5, now it doesn't work. What's the fix for in on PHP5?

 

$mail->mailParam["sci_id"]=$_GET[$sci_id];

That is valid code. Whats the problem?

The $_GET function is basically not working. Where it would normally pull the $sci_id, it now shows (sci_id=blank). I'm having the same issue with other lines with $_GET, I assumed it had something to do with PHP5, because it works with PHP4.4.

Can you post your entire script?  $_GET works the same way in php5, so the problem is most likely somewhere else.

Hmm.. was $sci_id set before you used it in that line?  If it was not set anywhere, then you had register_globals on in php4, but off in php5.  You can fix that by switching it on in php.ini, or by using $_GET['sci_id'] instead of $sci_id, giving you

 

$sci_id = $_GET['sci_id'];
$mail->mailParam["sci_id"]=$_GET[$sci_id];
