problem with php mysql iis

[Vjeran]

Hi
I have one page: index.php - news portal - with headlines, every headline is
a link to whole news , and the code is like this:
....
$news_id=$row["news_id"];
echo "<a href='news.php? news_id=$news_i d'>
....

the other page -news.php- that shows that news looks like this:
....
<?php
$result = mysql_query("se lect * from news WHERE
news_id='$news_ id'") or
die (mysql_error()) ;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($result))
.....

and this works fine on the Internet (PHP/MySQL/Apache)
but locally, I tried the same thing, and it doesn't work - but on
PHP/MySQL/IIS

it seems like it doesn't bring $news_id to sql query... is this a IIS
problem or what?

thanks for any help

perhaps: relying on register globals to get $news_id in place of
$news_id = $_GET['news_id']

It appears you have register_global s on.
http://php.net/register_globals

*Turn it off!*

And change your code to:

<?php
$result = mysql_query("se lect * from news WHERE news_id='".$_GE T['news_id']."'") or die (mysql_error()) ;
...
Happy Coding :)

.... but as I said to somebody else,

"doesn't work" doesn't tell us anything!
