Thanks for your response Jochem.
cheers.
I realize this is not a DB specific question but this exercise is to get my mysql routines working.
I did remove the declaration "global $_SERVER, $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, $_SESSION, $_COOKIE" but still do not get values.
bummer. I have a sneaking suspicion that your problem might be related to the fact that you are running the cgi version of php.
Funny thing, $_SERVER[QUERY_STRING] returns the query string
one interim solution could be to write a function that fills the $_GET and $_POST vars - getting an array from a string like "var1=334343&var2=343434" is fairly trivial how does the following work for you?
parse_str( $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], $_GET ); print_r($_GET);
obviously this leaves you nowhere with POST & COOKIE values.
"var1=334343&var2=343434" but $_GET['var1'] or $_REQUEST['var1'] are empty.
which of the superglobals are actually defined at all?
phpinfo() shows SERVER["argv"] => Array
what does:
print_r( $GLOBALS ); print_r( $HTTP_GET_VARS ); print_r( $HTTP_POST_VARS );
...show you? (you might want to wrap the output in PRE tags for legibility)
( [0] => /home/www/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25/webapps/ip7/WEB-INF/cgi/httptest.php
probably a stupid question but: do you actually need tomcat? why not try a vanilla setup to begin with?
have you read this page:
http://nl.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php#language.variables.superglobals
if not why not? (read the manual from back to front, it save you lots of time in the long run)
[1] => var2=343434 [2] => var1=334343 ) Very puzzling.
Anyone else?

Hello,
I am running PHP 4.39 as a CGI under Tomcat 5.025, Linux 2.4.20-31.9. Configure = './configure' '--with-java=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04' '--with-servlet=/home/www/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25' '--with-mysql'
I cannot get the _GET function or _REQUEST functions to pick up values
from they are variables not functions.
a form generating even though I can see the query string values in the URL as in: http://localhost:8080/ip7/httptest.php?var1=212122&var2=343434
My HTML is very simple:
<form action="http://localhost:8080/ip7/httptest.php"; method="get"> <input type="text" name="var1"> <input type="text" name="var2"> <input type="submit"> </form>
The PHP program httptest.php is also very simple:
<?PHP global $_SERVER, $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, $_SESSION, $_COOKIE;
all the vars listed above are super globals you don't have to declare them as global - they are everywhere! this may also be the cause of the problem, what happens when you remove this line? also have you tried var_dump() or print_r() on the $_GET/$_POST/etc arrays? ps - not a very DB related question is it?
if(!empty($_REQUEST['var1'])) { $var1 = $_REQUEST['var1']; } else { $var1 ='undefined'; }
if(!empty($_GET['var2'])) { $var2 = $_GET['var2']; } else $var2 ='undefined';
// Various HMTL tags removed for simplicity echo $var1 echo $var1 ?>
I have tried everything I can think of including using HTML POST instead
of
GET, setting register_globals = On/Off.
leaving this off is recommended.
Thanks in advance.
