Question

I am running a PHP page and as soon as I introduce calls like this: $_GET(”) then everything goes wrong and I get an error 500.

This code goes not work:

    echo $_GET('username');
    echo $_GET('password');

?>

This code does:

<?php

    phpinfo();

?>

Use this:

echo "Username: ".$_GET['username']."<br />Password: ".$_GET['password'];

Since $_GET is a array and not a function, you need to use [square brackets] instead of (normal brackets) to retrieve the data out of a array.
