Simple PHP question.

[Stefan]

Hi,

Just set up PHP (PHP Version 4.3.3) as a CGI on a WIN2k server and tried
this:
<?php

echo $REMOTE_ADDR;

print "This is PHP...";

?>

And I get this error:
Notice: Undefined variable: REMOTE_ADDR ...

Is there some module I may be missing?

Thanks,

S

Nope, it's register_globals.. Read manual... It's in PHP.ini..

Nope, you are running code in style that is about to becomme obsolete.

Try:

echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

The change is that now register_globals option is by default turned off
which means you can no longer access REMOTE_ADDR as global, but instead you
have to look into the $_SERVER super global.

The change is for the better since register_global turned to on had some
grim security implications.
