Sorry, bass-ackwards. 4.2.x+ ships with register_globals set to ON, not OFF. So you'd have to change the setting to register_globals=OFF for your existing code to work. Sorry for any confusion.

The default installation of PHP 4.2.x+ now ships with register_globals set to OFF in PHP.ini. You have two choices: 1. Change all of your variable references to $_POST['varname'] (or $_GET['varname']). In your case it looks like you'd need $_GET['id']. 2. Turn register_globals ON in your PHP.ini. The first option is the recommended way. The "why" is explained in the configuration notes in php.ini. I'd recommend you take the time to scan the notes at the top of the php.ini file. Lots of important stuff in there that, if you're aware of it, will help you handle future issues as well. Hope this helps.
