[SOLVED] Multiple $ help

[nathan1]

Hiya guys,

 

I have a problem with trying to post multiple id's...i have a url and im using $_GET['the id']..and thats fine, but i want to get two....

 

page.php$id=1$otherid=42

 

i want to do something like that.....

 

is that possible? how would i go about it?

 

thanks

[ratcateme]

just add a & between them

page.php?id=1&otherid=42

then

$id = $_GET['id'];
$otherid=$_GET['otherid'];

Hi, thanks, i have tried that and it is not working..

[ratcateme]

can you post some of your code do you want something like

page.php?id=$id&otherid=$otherid

[s1yman]

page.php$id=1$otherid=42

 

Not sure if that was just a typo but thought I better make sure, don't forget the question mark.

 

page.php?$id=1&$otherid=42

[nathan1]

event.php?event_id=23?user_id=1

 

//getting the first id
$id = $_GET['event_id'];
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM events WHERE event_id=$id") or die("Error querying customer database1");

 

//getting the first id
$user_id = $_GET['user_id'];

 

 

i get a error querying database, but i didnt get this error before i added the other $....so im thinking it cant tell were one ended and another began ?

you want a question mark at the end of the filename so like this

 

page.php?

then you just list your items

id=what

eventid=whatever

then you add them together with a &

 

so like this

page.php?id=what&eventid=whatever

 

you need the & sign when there is more then 1 thing and for each thing just add another &

 

like this

page.php?id=what&eventid=whatever&something=this

 

help at all?

make sure your urls are w3 compliant and readable using functions such as http://us2.php.net/urlencode

 

in xhtml 1.0 you need to use & in any link where u want a "&" so also watch out for that if u follow w3 (which u should)
