Apache config, php won't pass parameters

[pladdypants]

Hey there,

I originally posted on the PHP forum and was told by a moderator that my Apache setup seems to be off. The problem is I can run a simple php script in my cgi-bin, however it doesn't pass any parameters. The goal of the script is to show a form, get the users name, and then call the script again and print "Hello, $_GET['user']". When a name is entered though, the script is called with no parameter passed, and the $_GET array is empty.

Is there a specific setup in the config file I missed or failed to even setup? I'm new to this and just set up apache only recently. Any help or direction would be much appreciated it. Thanks in advance.

I'm using Apache 2.2.10, and php 5.2.6 on windows xp pro (browser i'm testing in is mozilla). I installed apache first, and then installed php. The script in question is being run on localhost. Really my only goal is to do local testing that i can apply on servers else where.

It was a php.ini setup error. I was placing the php scripts in the cgi-bin rather than htdocs (which is what was setup in the php.ini). Thanks for the help Pladdy!
