Hey,

If I call a file with the URL "http://127.0.0.1/test.php?numberOne=12" which holds a very simple script:

<?php
print("$numberOne");
?>

The result is an empty screen.

Why is this? can anyone tell me how to solve this problem, it worked fine on older versions of php?
Thanks for your help

Look up 'register globals' on php.net

Basicly, register globals is evil, and turned off on any new release of php.
[including my server, mandrake]

you should use superglobals instead, there's a short manual here;
