Q really newbie question
Posted: Sat Apr 11, 2009 6:03 am
Hi,
I am learning PHP now by watching CDs and having problems with the code snippets in the CD. Say I want to get values from query string like:
page1.php?userid=1
The CD said $userid variable is automatically set so I can use it directly in this manner:
echo "User id is ". $userid
But I have to do it the following way to get it to work:
echo "User id is ". $_GET["userid"]
Same things happen to Form, Session and Cookie. What's up with that?
TIA
