auth.php erases php variable - a puzzle

I got a very strange result by including auth.php in my php file. I wrote a php code called list.php

Code:

<?php

$listingid=$_GET['listingid'];

$originalurl=$_GET['urlarray'];



echo "URL1 $originalurl 

";



require "./auth.php";

require $xcart_dir."/include/categories.php";



echo "URL2 $listingid 

";

echo "URL3 $originalurl 

";



// also do other things ...

?>

When this file is called by
link

It generastes the result:

Quote:

URL1 yuanjeff*test4*test3*test2*test1*
URL2 test2
URL3

This shows auth.php erases the value of $originalurl, and keeps the value of $listingid! I do not understand what is happening.

Can you help me on this? How can I keep all the variable values (with including auth.php in the code) because they are necessary in my code?

Thanks a lot.
Jeff

Probably the get variable is erased in top.inc.php

If you have registered globals on try using: $urlarray instead of the get.

Jon,

Thank you very much.

One more question. What do you mean

? Could they be turned off by php configuration (php.ini file)?

Jeff

Yes you can turn register globals off in your php.ini and/or depending in server configs you can toggle them in conf files. The catch... I'm not sure x-cart would function with them off however :D Been so long since I installed I don't recall.
