[SOLVED] Something Strange. Variable Not Passing On! Please Help!

[paulman888888]

hi;

My variable

$userpostcode is no being passed on from line 2; ($userpostcode=$userdata['postcode'] to line 15 ($body.="<tr><th>ID</th><th>Event Name</th><th>Date</th><th>PostCode</th><th>Distance from ".$userpostcode."</th><th>View Event</th></tr>" or any line after that.

 

I don't understand! To check i echo after line 2 to see if there way a variable in $userpostcode and there was. Everything else added to $body is echo later and i can see it all but that 1 variable isn't showing at all. Why?

 

Please please please help me.

 

Code

<?php
$userpostcode=$userdata['postcode'];
$page_title='Events';
$page_subtitle='Showing All ';
$userpostcode=$_REQUEST['postcode'];
$header_scripts='<script src="'.$site_location.'/js/sorttable.js"></script>';
$query = "SELECT * FROM chess_event ";if(isset($_GET['when'])){
$only=strtolower($_GET['when']);$when=$only;if($only == 'upcoming'){$page_subtitle.=' Upcoming';
$query.= " WHERE day > CURDATE()";$page_title.=" - Upcoming";
}elseif($only == 'past'){
$page_subtitle.=' Past';$query .= " WHERE day < CURDATE()";$page_title.=" - Past";}}else{$page_title.=" - All";}
$result = mysql_query($query)or die(mysql_error()); 
$page_subtitle.=' Events';

$body.='<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" class="sortable">';

$body.="<tr><th>ID</th><th>Event Name</th><th>Date</th><th>PostCode</th><th>Distance from ".$userpostcode."</th><th>View Event</th></tr>";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

$body.="<tr>";

$body.='<td><center><a href="/?page=View_Event&id='.$row['id'].'">'.$row['id']."</a></center></td>\n";

$body.="<td><center>".$row['name']."</center></td>";

$body.="<td><center>".mysql2uk($row['day'])."</center></td>";

$body.="<td><center>".$row['postcode']."</center></td>";

$body.="<td><center>".get_latlong_from_postcodes($userpostcode, $row['postcode'])."</center></td>";

$body.='<td><center><a href="/?page=View_Event&id='.$row["id"].'">More</a></center></td>';

$body.="</tr>";

$i++; // increment counter

}$body.="</table>";
?>

 

Thankyou in advance

Line 2:

$userpostcode=$userdata['postcode'];

So where is $userdata set?

 

[paulman888888]

its set in my index file.

 

My index.php inlcludes every other page on it.

 

i did this is a test to see where the error was lyeing.

 

index.php

$userdata['postcode']='SW10';

include'page.php';

 

page.php

<?php

$userpostcode=$userdata['postcode'];

$page_title='Events';

echo 'test; '.$userpostcode;

$page_subtitle='Showing All ';

$userpostcode=$_REQUEST['postcode'];

$header_scripts='<script src="'.$site_location.'/js/sorttable.js"></script>';

$query = "SELECT * FROM chess_event ";if(isset($_GET['when'])){

$only=strtolower($_GET['when']);$when=$only;if($only == 'upcoming'){$page_subtitle.=' Upcoming';

$query.= " WHERE day > CURDATE()";$page_title.=" - Upcoming";

}elseif($only == 'past'){

$page_subtitle.=' Past';$query .= " WHERE day < CURDATE()";$page_title.=" - Past";}}else{$page_title.=" - All";}

$result = mysql_query($query)or die(mysql_error());

$page_subtitle.=' Events';

 

$body.='<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" class="sortable">';

 

$body.="<tr><th>ID</th><th>Event Name</th><th>Date</th><th>PostCode</th><th>Distance from ".$userpostcode."</th><th>View Event</th></tr>";

 

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

 

$body.="<tr>";

 

$body.='<td><center><a href="/?page=View_Event&id='.$row['id'].'">'.$row['id']."</a></center></td>\n";

 

$body.="<td><center>".$row['name']."</center></td>";

 

$body.="<td><center>".mysql2uk($row['day'])."</center></td>";

 

$body.="<td><center>".$row['postcode']."</center></td>";

 

$body.="<td><center>".get_latlong_from_postcodes($userpostcode, $row['postcode'])."</center></td>";

 

$body.='<td><center><a href="/?page=View_Event&id='.$row["id"].'">More</a></center></td>';

 

$body.="</tr>";

 

$i++; // increment counter

 

}$body.="</table>";

?>

 

And on the 3rd line it echo-ed the $userpostcode but not on the lines below it. Why? where has this variable gone?

 

Thankyou in advance again

Paul
