tech question for PHP gurus...please help! - GoFuckYourself.com

Ok, so on my old server I could parse usernames in HTML by using this:

echo $PHP_AUTH_USER

When I switched to a new server running Plesk, it didn't work. So after a little reading about "Global Variables" and mine being turned off, I had to swith the code to this:

echo $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']

Now everything works fine except for my linking codes: I used to pass a "Click" variable through a URL to my tours. The URL would be something like http://www.domain.com?CLICK=xxxxx

and in my tour page I would have:

echo $CLICK

However, on the new server, it's not being passed to the page. The CLICK= part just ends up blank. Is there something I have to change because of my global variables being turned off or ???

Thanks in advance.

You need to turn on register_globals in your php.ini file...

Good luck,

If you dont want to parse the whole query string .. you should be able to get the variable with $_GET['CLICK'] .. I believe

Thanks Mr. T. I was told that isn't a good idea from a security standpoint. Is there another solution?

Yes, $_GET was what you were looking for
