Hi There are three main types of data passed by the browser - GET POST and COOKIE. php creates an array for each type, so what is $id now would also be $_GET["id"] or $_POST["id"] There is also $_REQUEST which is a combination of $_GET and $_POST so $_REQUEST["id"] will also work. If it were a cookie value it would be $_COOKIE["id"] When register_globals is off $id will not be defined and only the above arrays will be usable. It is generally better practice to use the arrays anyway, so I would suggest using them all the time.
