problem to get data from a form (method=get)

[linux newbie]

i am using redhat8 with default php installed, the problem i am facing
is that:

#test.php
<?php
echo $test_value;
?>

localhost/test.php?test_value=abc

whatever values i try, php can't get my values passed by get or direct
url passing. do you have any ideas about that problem? thanks :)

Use $_GET['test_value'] instead of $test_value. Read the section of the PHP
manual on register_globals.

ARGH! This question comes up every second day. Why do you all ignore the
manual?

=> http://www.php.net/manual/en/languag...predefined.php

Your variable will be in $_GET['test_value'].

To avoid warnings from PHP, your code should look like this

<?php
echo isset($_GET['test_value']) ? $_GET['test_value'] : '';
?>

or that:

<?php
if (isset($_GET['test_value'])) {
echo $_GET['test_value'];
}
?>

Very true.

Someone should post a list of answers to common questions and title the post
"LOOK HERE BEFORE YOU ASK ANY QUESTIONS." Then again, if people can't check
the manual, they probably won't look at that post either...

I'm still patient.

Read http://www.php.net/manual/en/languag...predefined.php.
Read the box with the fat header "Warning".

If you ask this question again, please add your credit card number.
You'll get charged by the "PHP Manual Read Out Service".
