i just switched servers, and before everything worked out just fine...but now i have pages like...

profile.php?id=2

but it's treating it as if it's not picking up the $id after the ?...although it used to on our other server...so i was thinking my settings arent right...but i dont know where to look to try to fix the problem...any help?

What type of server did you switch from and too? Are you sure that there is not an error in your code that could prevent the GET variable from being recognized properly?

well...both were fedora/linux, but the old one we were using cpanel/whm, on this one it's plesk...so things are a bit different, i cant even find the .htaccess file...but what file could i try to find that might be what's wrong, cause i really doubt it has anything to do with the code since it used to work on our other server and now on this one it doesnt...

How were things transfered to this new server?

manually...just uploaded the pages and databases manually through ftp...

nevermind i fixed it, i had to put in this now..

$id = $HTTP_GET_VARS["id"];

so now ive gotta go through a bunch of pages to edit them so they can do this...isnt their an easier way so that it'll just use GET automatically?

i'm not sure but couldn't that be from PHP setings, the diference between the way versions 3.0 and 4.0 handle global variables?

Hey, I'm wondering how this actually works?

Like, I'm interested in just having the one page, then when u click a link, it loads the new webpage into like, an include. So its like a template sorta thing.

Is it like, $id = $HTTP_GET_VARS["id"]; is the id of the webpage. So , for example members.php?id=38

You would have $HTTP_GET_VARS["38"]; and that gets the page and places it into where you want it? like and include?

But then when you click the link, what does it do then?

Be aware that the method you are using for retrieving globals is deprecated. Try using

PHP Code:

$id = $_GET[id]; 


$_POST is the superglobal array used for retrieving posted values.
