hi,

my isp updated to php 4.2.2

since then all my scripts worked fine, as they should.
after the update nothing worked anymore.

here sample script
test.php
--------
<?php
$test = 1;
echo ("<a href=./test2.php?var=".$test.">test</a>");
?>

test2.php
---------
<?PHP
echo $var;
?>

so test2.php echoed nothing.
i tried a lot and after installing php 4.2.2 locally, ich found out that in php.ini following lines were commented out:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Data Handling ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;
; Note - track_vars is ALWAYS enabled as of PHP 4.0.3
; The separator used in PHP generated URLs to separate arguments.
; Default is "&".
;arg_separator.output = "&amp;"
; List of separator(s) used by PHP to parse input URLs into variables.
; Default is "&".
; NOTE: Every character in this directive is considered as separator!
;arg_separator.input = ";&"


after activating arg_seperator.output + input 
all my scripts worked fine again.

so MY problem now is that my i cant fix it locally but i and i think a lot of more people cant chang php.ini on my ISP Site.

is it possible to make this public somewhere on php.net so that also the ISPs will read when downloading ?

thanx

Markus Brendler

In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to
'off'. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info.
We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary
part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable.

you must use the $_GET and $_POST arrays, in test2.php try

<?php
echo $_GET["var"];
?>
