Considering the URL bar is currently displaying correcty what my problem is maybe someone here can help. I have been in the process of making a website and I can't seem to get my links to work the way I want them to. I'm using PHP to call the "guts" of the page out of a text file but I cannot seem to get my variable to set itself to the name of the file when it is clicked. Here's an example of how my link is formatted:
<a href = "main.php?page=test">Page 1</a>
When this is clicked the variable, $page, should be set equal to "test" but it is not. Does anyone know why this may be or what I'm doing wrong? I know for a fact that the problem is that the variable is not being set when the link is clicked because if I set the variable in the code for the page it works fine.
By the way, I am running Apache 2.0.54(Win32) with PHP 5.0.5.

That behavior you're relying on is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. register_globals was turned off by default FOR A GOOD REASON. It should be TRIVIAL to think of a scenario where this would lead to a massive security hole.
If you want to retrieve the components of the query string, use the $_GET associative array.
