 Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2004 11:54 am Post subject: problem passing variables with url |
 |
|
I have been using Abyss as a home test server for 2 years and have just done a fresh windows install after an upgrade
I seem to have forgotten a setting somewhere
I have a "std.php" page that I use throughout one of my sites that sets up the pages top, left and bottom blocks and has only one variable to display the pages main content in the right block
| Code: | | <?php include ($content) ; ?> |
and use internal links like this to navigate around the site
| Code: | | HREF="std.php?content=content/04-ski-inf.php" |
it worked fine in the past both at home and on the web
now the whole page loads with top, bottom and left displayed properly (they are also called with include calls) but the content block dosen't show and I get a
"PHP Notice: Undefined variable: content " in the cgi.log file
so what have I missed in the Abyss / PHP configuration this time
PS. the "php-info.php" page shows up fine so I asume I have the basic PHP settings right
thanks

what version of php are you using? 4?
for some some reason you can't just call $content any more, you have to call "$HTTP_GET_VARS['content']"
in all of my scripts i use the following format to get the vars from the url:
| Code: | | $content = ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['contect']) ) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['content'] : ""; |
this is similar to the following:
| Code: | if( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['contect']) )
$content = $HTTP_GET_VARS['content'];
else
$content = ""; |
you can also use $_GET['content'] which does the same,
or $_POST['content'] which is used for post requests
hope this helps

Thanks roganty
that worked :)
I had upgraded from "PHP 4.3.1" to "PHP 4.3.8"
added this to the top of "std.php" and all is good
| Code: | | <?php $content = $_GET['content'] ; ?> |
thanks Again
