I have down-loaded several php scripts and am working my way through them  
as part of my learning process. I  have noticed situations like this: 
 
mysql_query("DELETE FROM $table WHERE id=$id",$db); 
 
where scripts have been called from another script/page with a parameter -  
i.e. 'id' is a parameter that is not defined in the script before the  
above line is called. 
 
They don't work as they are but I can get the parameters by using  
$_GET['id'] or sometimes $_POST['id']. 
 
Is this a result of different versions of php (I am using v5) where  
behaviour has changed or is it something else that is going completely  
over my head because I am so new to this? 
 
Many thanks.
