Help with this url passing variable code

[mbarandao]

Hello:

I'm having difficulty getting variables that are passed to another page in a url after migrating from an apache on window server to a apache on unix server.

Here is the url:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=/i-cmsys/editableinvoice/index.php?edit_mileage=<?php echo $_POST['edit_currentmileage']; ?>&edit_servicearea=<?php echo $edit_servicearea_str; ?>&inputbox=<?php echo $_POST['inputbox']; ?>&edit_clientID=<?php echo $_POST['edit_clientID']; ?>&edit_firstname=<?php echo $_POST['edit_firstname']; ?>&edit_lastname=<?php echo $_POST['edit_lastname']; ?>&edit_address=<?php echo $_POST['edit_address']; ?>&edit_city=<?php echo $_POST['edit_city']; ?>&edit_state=<?php echo $_POST['edit_state']; ?>&edit_zipcode=<?php echo $_POST['edit_zipcode']; ?>&edit_caryear=<?php echo $_POST['edit_caryear']; ?>&dhtmlgoodies_subcategoryupdate=<?php echo $_POST['dhtmlgoodies_subcategoryupdate']; ?>&dhtmlgoodies_categoryupdate=<?php echo $_POST['dhtmlgoodies_categoryupdate']; ?>&edit_company=<?php echo $_POST['edit_company']; ?>&edit_customerid=<?php echo $_POST['edit_customerid']; ?>&currentmileage=<?php echo $_POST['currentmileage']; ?>'">

To get the variables on the receiving page, I wrote:

<div id="vehicleid"><label><strong><u>Vehicle Information</u></strong></label><p>Year: <?php echo $edit_caryear?></p><p>Type: <?php echo $dhtmlgoodies_categoryupdate?></p><p>Make: <?php echo $dhtmlgoodies_subcategoryupdate?></p><p>Vehicle Plate# <?php echo $edit_clientID?></p><p>Account# <?php echo $edit_customerid?></p><p>Current Mileage: <?php echo $edit_mileage?></p></div>

This works fine on my windows server, but at all on the unix machine.

Does anyone have any idea as to any modification that needs to be added?

I appreciate some thoughts on this!

If i understand corectly:
You have something like a form (no listing) that sends data to a page (listing 1)
that sends the data to /i-cmsys/editableinvoice/index.php (listing 2)

if so:
Data send in th url is GET data
use

echo $_GET['edit_mileage'];

Thanks for the response; any ideas at to why my current method

<?php echo $edit_mileage?>

works fine on apache for windows but not on unix server?

Found my problem, inside my php.ini, register_globals was set to Off. Changing to on, resolved issue.

Thanks,

That is not advissed.

In PHP 5.3.0 that has been DEPRECATED e.a it doesn't work anymore

[mbarandao]

so, is it advisable than to change from

<?php echo $edit_mileage?>

to

<?php echo $_GET['edit_mileage']?>;

[pzuurveen]

Or if you gone use that var more: do

$edit_mileage= $_GET['edit_mileage']

This could all die if a $_GET var is missing. Validate and clean all input before using it.
