old book?
depends on server configuration if you can do without $_GET or not.
with allways works, so you're better of using $_GET['name'] all the time (then it will work on all servers).

systemx,
It depends on which version of PHP you're using.
Anything past about 4.1.0 you'll need to use $_GET, $_POST, etc.
Your manual may have been written for an older version...?

You have to use get if you have global variables turned off in your php.ini file. It is off by default, which is good because it can lead to security problems. Stick with $_GET
