KansukeKojima 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2007 I am having lots of trouble getting some different php codes to work on traps servers.... <?php $default = "blah.html"; if($id == ""){$id = $default;}elseif(isset($id)){$id = $id;} ?><?php include ("$id"); ?><a href="?id=blah2.html">Link</a> For example, I tried this to creat a link, but it would not work... is there anything I can do that I may not be doing, or that I may be doing wrong, or don't know about? It seemse to happen for a few other things too... help me please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rvalkass 5 Report post Posted November 17, 2007 To get a variable out of the URL, you need to refer to it as $_GET['variablename'] not just as $variablename.For example, the first line of your code should read: <?php$default = "blah.html"; if ($_GET['id'] == ""){ $id = $default;}elseif (isset($_GET['id'])){ $id = $_GET['id'];}?> That should fix it.

rvalkass 5 Report post Posted November 17, 2007 Yes. $_GET['variablename'] is used for pulling information out of URLs and passing them to variables. So, if in the URL you have index.php?name=rob&os=linux then two variables are automatically created: $_GET['name'] which has the value "rob"$_GET['os'] which has the value "linux"Most people reassign those variables to others with more logical names and without the GET part, like this: $name = $_GET['name'];$operatingSystem = $_GET['os']; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
