Passing variables into php from the address

[LooseCannon]

Eg: "http://myDomain.local/default.php?_minc=home"

The variable "home" isn't getting into the php code.

My config and install info: http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=27069

I've faced and dealt with this issue 4 or 5 times in the last few months. Can't remember how I did or find any notes. ... Shameful.

It's related to register_globals? It was such a simple solution. Arrgh!

Any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated.

EDIT: I'm not bothered about the security issues, being a local site, and I have register_globals = On

TIP
Write your notes as you go to text files and keep them in one directory location.

Get His Grepship then you can just type a key word and search the text files very rapidly.

Unlike others of this ilk it does not create a text database but actually searches the physical files.

Very useful indeed - I would be lost without it.

PM me if you want more details about it

Thanks.

Having seen that thread yesterday, I've just given it a fresh review, as a night's sleep might have helped. But I still think it doesn't.

That thread seems to relate to variables set within the code. I really want to avoid changing the code we're downloading from our live web site, and just configure the local XAMPP setup to run with that. I have manage that already on 2 PCs and the current laptop (prior to reinstalling onto an encrypted volume yesterday).

So, I'm looking for a server-side fix, not web site code specific. Else, when we update the local/remote/non-www laptop, we'll have another tweak to do each time.

Off topic: In about an hour I've to re-install XAMPP on the laptop to what it was on Monday this week. I've achieved so much this week, it's ironic to be tripped up by something I've resolved before. Oh well,,,

Yup, thanks Wiedmann. Been there and as previously, thought I'd sorted it. This time, with "register_globals = On", I still can't pass variables into the code.

No matter, let's park this for now. I have to get the laptop sent offsite and hence had to revert to the config from a few days ago,,, which works. I'll post back if/when I find my mistake.
