variable passed in through header

[Owen Funkhouser]

We recently upgraded PHP and variables that were once passed through the URL are no longer
recognized.

Example:

http://www.sun.com/test.php?defectID=2

Within the test.php code:

<?php
session_start();

$defectID = (int)$defectID;

if ( $defectID != 2 ) {
// This should not execute, but does.
echo "Error: $defectID";
exit;
}

?>

Help?

The newer PHP has register_globals off by default. Either set it on or
change your references to $_GET['defectID'] or $_REQUEST['defectID'] or use
import_request_variables()
