PHP Question

Ok, I haven't done PHP in a couple years, so I'm a bit rusty.

Now, when you have domain.com/index.php?page=whatever, to see what the page is in your code (to check to see what page needs to be displayed), don't you just use

if($page=="whatever")
{
print 'this shows up';
}

But it doesn't seem to work... I found one of my old scripts I wrote a while back and it wont work properly.

Try replacing $page with $_GET['page']

Yay, that worked Thanks!

Just thought I would give an quick explanation on why it does not work.

$page would work if register_globals was enabled. Your current server must have it disabled (it has been disabled by default for some time but a lot of hosts change that to enabled)
