Been having a problem accessing a variable that is passed on a URL.
I've been developing PHP for years and this makes no seance.

The variable I am trying to access in the script is $_section. I put
the following code at the beginning (before anything else apart from <?)

  echo "!$REQUEST_URI!$_section!";

I get the following output

 !/adultdyslexia.org/quiz.php?_menu=TOP&issue=1&_section=QUIZ&gen=Y!!

So why is $_section blank!
