Why would PHP not be parsing parameters from a URL correctly?

[beer]

I downloaded the tree structure of my web site onto my local Linux server to make some changes.
I used phpMyAdmin to duplicate the databases.

However, parameters that I pass via a URL are not being picked up in the scripts I write. if I pass a parameter, say, page.php?intID=5, the variable $intID doesn't exist, but it does on the remote server.

Obviously the problem is in my php.ini file. Anyone know what line I shhould change?

You're assuming globals are registered, which they shouldn't be.

?intID=5 should not be $intID, but instead should be $_GET['intID']

you can turn register_globals on, but ideally it is betetr to leave it off for security and performance reasons. to get the intID, the proper method would be to do:

$intID = $_GET["intID"]

then use $intID where you need it

like they said. Most likely due to the register globals being set to off.
