Issues with GET

[melting_dog]

Hey again all,

 

This is a follow on from another post but now i think the issues a bit more simpler.

 

I am having issues with getting a variable from a header:location()

 

The first page has:

 

header("location:forumsDiscussion.php?$comDiscussNo");

 

The second page has:

 

$discussIDtrans = (int)$_GET['comDiscussNo'];

 

 

function confirm($msg)

{

echo "<script langauge=\"javascript\">alert(\"".$msg."\");</script>";

}

$msg = $discussIDtrans;

confirm($msg);

 

But its comeing up as nothing (0) even though i can see the correct number in the URL.

 

Cheers, any help is appreciated

The correct format for putting a GET parameter on the end of a URL is -

 

your_page.php?name=value&name2=value2&name3=value3

 

In your case you are only using one name/value pair, so you would need to produce -

 

your_page.php?name=value

 

If the name you want is comDiscussNo and the value is in the variable $comDiscussNo, you would need to use -

 

your_page.php?comDiscussNo=$comDiscussNo
