Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi all, I use xampp with ubuntu 10.01 LTS. No probleme first but I try to use $_GET variable. And the PHP can"t found this. I try the same code online and it's working. Do tou know how to turn on the get systeme for php?
Thanks a lot.

P.S: I'm French, and not really good in English, sorry about that.

Maybe you want to show us your code?
very common this is a short_open_tags issue

yes if you want;
I call http://localhost/index.php?toto=azerty
on my index.php
if have

Code: Select all

<?php
      if(isset($_GET['toto'])){
            echo $_GET['toto'];
      }else{
            echo 'error';
      }
?>

and when i see the answer, I have :

Code: Select all

Notice: Undefined variable: codecom in /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php on line 2
error

And I try this code whith WAMP no probleme and online, no probleme.
I try too POST and SESSION no probleme with that only with GET.

Are you really really sure, that this is the error message with the script you postet here?
Please doublecheck that.

There is no "codecom" variable anywhere in your example script

it's the same. it's not my code, it's working on another serveur.

It's jeut xampp not suporte the GET.

I want to use the get with xampp (if not, it's not a good webserver than wampp (windows)).
Do you kow how to make that?

xampp supports GET out of the box.

Are you sure xampp Apache webserver is running and not any other webserver of your Linux distribution?

Yes, all xampp was run and I install (with apt-get xampp) only xammp. If ubuntu has not another apache, Normaly it"s ok.

please take a look at this file: /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php

Is this your file you posted here?

/opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php
yes it was that

I just can't believe php throws a notice for a variable which don't exists anywhere.
php don't create ghost variables

btw: there is no xampp package which you can install with apt-get.
AFAIK the XAMPP package can only be downloaded from apachefriends or sourceforge

what do you want to say?


I install xampp with this tuto http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/xampp
I download XAMPP Linux 1.7.3a on http://www.apachefriends.org/fr/xampp-linux.html
I used this

Code: Select all

<?php echo $_GET['toto']; ?>

and I call
http://localhost/index.php?toto=1

And I receive

Notice: Undefined variable: toto in /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php on line 1

That your descriptions must be the truth.
I can't see whats on your screen.
I don't know your system.
I don't know anything about the tuts you follow.

I just know what you tell us in this board!

Don't know what i want to say? :

Code: Select all

Notice: Undefined variable: codecom in /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php on line 2

IS NOT THE SAME AS

Code: Select all

Notice: Undefined variable: toto in /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php on line 1

Next thing i can't believe:

If i use your sourcecode and provoke an error (error_reporting at highest level, don't give an argument in the address line) i get this message:

Code: Select all

Notice: Undefined index: toto in C:\xampp\htdocs/get.php on line 2

not undefined variable, undefined index!

I don't know whats going wrong with your installation.
Maybe someone else knows.

Do you know where can I found a tuto for using apache mysql php ftp ... Simply (not like xampp but it have a bug with that).
