Hello Bob,

Since your example works on the live server (which is even worse than it
working on a development server), I would advise you to read up on the ini
file directive 'register_globals':

http://nl2.php.net/register_globals

If 'register_globals' is set to 'on' an end user can easily inject your
application with variables of their choice like so:

http://www.torusdesign.nl/spry/test.php?userid=1

So I strongly advise you to turn off 'register_globals' on the live server.
