I am trying to work out why this dosn't work - I have one page with this on:

<?PHP
$name = "Test";
$disc = "Test";
?>

<table border="0">
  <tr>
    <td>Name: <?PHP Echo $name ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Description: <?PHP Echo $disc ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>
Voting Link:  <a href="../vote.php?name=<?PHP echo $name ?>">http://www.lattyware.com/THL/vote.php?name=<?PHP echo $name ?></a>

</td>
  </tr>
</table>

And another page with this on:

<?PHP

$name=$_Get["name"]

$fp = fopen("files/votes/".$name.".txt","r");
$votes = fread ($fp, filesize ("files/votes/".$name.".txt"));
fclose($fp);
$votes++;
$fp = fopen("files/votes/".$name.".txt","w");
fwrite($fp, $votes);
fclose($fp);
echo "<BR> You Vote Has Been Cast. $name s Toatal $votes <BR>";
?> 

<input type="button" value="Continue..." onclick="window.location='stats.php'">

Everything works except for the passed variable ($name) Please help.

if you're passing the var in the URL you should just be able to use it...

$name

no real need for

$name=$_Get["name"]

or I could be overlooking something...

When I put in $name=$_Get["name"] -
Notice: Undefined variable: _Get in C:\Domains\lattyware.com\wwwroot\THL\vote.php on line 9

When I don't.
Notice: Undefined variable: name in C:\Domains\lattyware.com\wwwroot\THL\vote.php on line 9

Also,

<a href="../vote.php?name=<?=$name?>">http://www.lattyware.com/THL/vote.php?name=<?=$name?></a>

$_GET["variable"]

That hasn't made a difference either...

Correction: It works now - thank you!

When I loose the

$name=$_Get["name"]

in the code posted above and test it locally on my machine it all works fine (bar the permissions - too lazy to set that up right now). No problems with the var though.

Could this be a set up problem on the server your using? anyone? that'd be beyond me.

The server has register globals set to off, default since version 4.2

Hmm, I see.
