Hello Peter,

There are lots of reasons that your code works on windows but not in this
setup.
Multiple Components (OS, Server, Database, PHP)
Configuration Differences
Versions Differences

And the unlikely chance that you have one of these bits misconfigured.

The suggestion I made earlier will allow your code to do the right thing
when the request variable is not set.
