register_globals is most likely turned off on the new server (as it should be). do a phpinfo() to see. Or change the code to <? if (!isset($_GET['area'])) { ?> to use the super global arrays. neal -----Original Message----- From: Dan McCullough [mailto:McWC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 11:08 AM To: PHP General List Subject: url I have this old script I wrote 2-3 years back. I gets arguments from the url. index.php?area=blah The client moved the code to another server and some odd happened. Nothing seems to be parsing from the URL anymore. The top code is <? if (!isset($area)) { ?> HTML THis code no longer seems to work and I am racking my brain trying to figure out what. -------------------------------------------------------- "Theres no such thing as a problem unless the servers are on fire!" --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? vote.yahoo.com - Register online to vote today! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
