Hi all,

I just installed PHP on OSX, and am having issues getting PHP to process my url actions. For instance, the url:

http://localhost/~dude/test.php?action=uno
It should display a message saying "Page One", based on the code below. However, it always defaults to "No Action."

When I put the same code on my server, it processes my actions without problem. How can I configure my Mac to serve this correctly?

Thanks!

The code from test.php

<?
if ($action == "uno") {
echo("Page One");
}

else if ($action == "dos") {
echo("Page Two");
}

else {
echo("No Action.");
}

?>

the variable $action doesn't exist because global variables are turned off by default. Try:
[php]
<?
$action = $_GET['action'];
if ($action == "uno") {
echo("Page One");
}

else if ($action == "dos") {
echo("Page Two");
}

else {
echo("No Action.");
}

?>

[/php]

Thank you so much, Black book...

I had no idea about the global variables being turned off for OSX, but have read about that in regards to security concerns. Anyway, it worked perfectly!

Cheers from California!

It is not just MacOS X... that is now the default for PHP.
