Passing variables in URL not working in php

[theMAD2]

I've been using this script for a while where I can put different variablle in the URL and these will get passed to the php script eg

index.php?foo=foo+bar

and then in the script you can run

<?php print $foo;?>

and it will print out "foo bar", but it doesn't seem to be running on my local machine. I'm running XAMPP which uses apache and what looks like a normal php setup. Is there anything I should check which might be stopping this?

register_globals is off (which is a good thing) - use $_GET['foo'] to access the variable

I'll give that a try, cheers
