This beats me (variable not being passed through pages)

Hi,

I have a ASP.NET / C# page calling a webmail Linux server:

WebRequest request =
WebRequest.Create("http://192.168.1.4/horde/imp/index.php?username=gamito");
(etc...)

It seems to work as in my Linux Apache logs, i get:
(...) "GET /horde/imp/index.php?username=gamito HTTP/1.1" 200 223

File index.php is:

<?php
$username_from_iis = $_REQUEST['username'];
print('Hello ' . $username_from_iis);
?>

But index.php only shows "Hello" and not "Hello gamito" as I'd expect.

Any ideias ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito

Sounds a little obvious, but change _REQUEST to _GET and see what you get.

_REQUEST might not be getting populated correctly. It is configurable ya know.

Check you php.ini and see if the variables_order entry is set correctly. This
is mine;

variables_order = "GPCS"
(GET, POST, COOKIE, SESSION)

There might be others that affect it, but I'm not sure. Maybe others will have
suggestions.
