Cannot get $_GET or $_POST arrays to work

[albroun]

Hi

I have installed Apache / MySQl / PHP on my Win 98 pc using EasyPHP. I chose EasyPHP because it is the smallest installer I could find for the whole package, and I have limited disk space and a slow dial-up connection (no broadband here!).

However, I think it has installed an older version of PHP than current, and I cannot get the $_GET or $_POST arrays to work although they do on another machine using the same code.

Is there a simple modification to the PHP ini file that would do the trick or would I better to uninstall the whole package and start again with a manual installation process?

Thanks

Hi,

Last version of EasyPHP is EasyPHP1.7 and it contains Apache 1.3.27, PHP4.3.3, PhpMyadmin 2.53 and MySQL 4.0.15.
Note also that this last version is GLOBAL OFF.

I never had problem with POST or GET array.
Make sure that if you use form, the name of your input is something like name='value[]'.

Here an example of what the script I used (on EasyPHP)

if(isset($_POST["value"])) {$value_array=$_POST["value"]; } else {$value_array=null;}
$count_value=count($value_array);

Hope this help

I also gather that you can use the deprecated $HTTP_GET_VARS and $HTTP_POST_VARS

Dont know why I ended up with 1.5 instead of 1.7! May just uninstall / reinstall, and turn Global on.
