I'm using xampp on XP.
I can't get PHP to read my var from the URL. example, when I hit www.foobar.com/whatever.php?azz=wala then I should get wala to print to the browser with the following code. Any ideas??
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
before
<?php
echo "middle ".$azz." zoo";
echo "aftermiddle";
?>
after
</body>

Your below script modified will do the same -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
before
<?php
echo "middle ".$_GET['azz']." zoo";
echo "aftermiddle";
?>
after
</body>
</html>
coz. you directly use $azz variable without first defining it...
define it like this
$azz = $_GET;
just put that above your code, befor you output $azz.
both of those were good ideas but neither worked. there might be something special needed to echo it?
i resolved my root problem though, i was using this as a test to get my variable names. i had some old script that didn't have the single parenthesis around the var in the condition. it used to work though, maybe a newer version php requires this.
Thanks!
did u see the variable are passed in the url? www.foobar.com/whatever.php?azz=wala that shows that whatever.php has received azz variable and can be get through the $_GET[] global variable.
Actually vault that was the final half, it didn't work 100% til defining it. PHP seems much more strict in windows w/ xampp defaults. Anyway Thanks!
