Passing/getting a variable

[bali2003]

Hi guys hope you can help me.

this string:

 

<a href="{$article.link}?tid=<? echo $_GET['kw']; ?>">

 

produces this output:

http://articlelink.php/?tid=<? echo $_GET['kw']; ?>

 

for some reason the variable 'kw' is not transfered from the link: http://link.php?kw=whatever

 

Any help?

The $article vars displays OK but the get inside the short tags does not. Why if the $article vars needs no short tags does the get need them? There's more than meets the eye here. Some kind of template engine? Read the docs.

 

<a href="{$article.link}?tid=<? echo $_GET['kw']; ?>">

Actually, I'v just noticed it actually is template file. The template engine probably does not parse PHP in the template.

 

Any workaround?

well, one thing to try is using proper PHP tags rather than short tags. short tag support was left off by default as of PHP 5, and will probably not even exist in PHP 6:

 

<a href="{$article.link}?tid=<?php echo $_GET['kw']; ?>">

 

in addition, are your template files given the .php extension? if not, the PHP won't be parsed (unless your server has additional extensions set to parse as PHP).

proper tags doesn't solve it

 

I guess I'm gonna have to ask the server for a solution??

sounds like it - without knowing what template engine you're using or what server environment you're running on, it's difficult to say what the problem is.
