php cannot read value passed in url

[nextGoal100kVisitors]

The following is the code that I have:

<?
	chdir("script");
	require('common.php');
	$amazonurl = myurldecode($amazonurl);
?>

The file name is frame.php, and as I access

frame.php?something&amazonurl=somethingElse

amazonurl returns empty string. What are possibly problems here?

Try changing $amazonurl to $_GET['amazonurl'].

Most likely, register_globals is off.

Thank you for the suggestion, and yes, you are right on. I found that out earlier today. BTW, does Plesk 7.x turn off register_globals by default?

Ever since PHP 4.2.0, the default setting for register_globals has been off. This is set right off the bat when you install PHP.
