Simple variable problems

[bigglejones]

I have switched servers, and now a script I had that worked on my old one does not work on the new one.

I am currently running 4.3.11

Problem 1:

Code:

<?
if(!$size) {
$size = "100x133";
}
if(!$day) {
$day = date("j");
}
if($day<10) {
$day = "0$day";
}
else {
$day = $day;
}
header("Location: thumbs/$size/tn$day.jpg");
?>

I have multiple folder sized setup, but 100x133 is obviously the default. But whenever I try viewing one of the other sizes, it always shows the default 100x133 image even though there is a 160x160 thumb.

Problem 2:

Code:

<?
if($ccbill) {
$url = "http://refer.example.net/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=927022&PA=" . $ccbill . "&HTML=http://www.example.com";
}
else {
$url = "http://www.example.com";
}
?>

I place the variable code (ccbill) at the end of this url: http://www.example.com/potd/index.php?ccbill=999999

...this a href should show up on all the links ( <a href="<? echo("$url");?>"> ):
[refer.example.net...]

...but it will not recognize the variable and always points to the default http://www.example.com (same as the problem with the thumbs above..only goes to the default)

any help would be awesome...I can explain further if needed. Thanks in advance

I would suggest that you ask your new hosting provider if "register_globals" is set to OFF. This is very likely to be the cause of your problem.

You can check for the register globals setting quite easily without asking your provider just by creating a script with

phpinfo();

in it. That will output everythin you need to know.

Thanks so much for the help..thats exactly what the problem was.
