$_GET Not Working

[savagenoob]

I run into this every now and again and wonder if someone knows what I could be doing wrong. Using a simple $ClientID = $_GET['ID']; is not working on a certain page, I can see the ID=193 value in the address field but $ClientID remains an empty variable. I even try $_REQUEST instead, still nothing. I'm puzzled.

Have you tried doing print_r($_GET); to see if there is anything in the array?

What's different with this page and other pages?

I'm going to guess you either have some url rewriting that does not pass the query string on the end of the url to the rewritten url or you have some code in the file that is clearing the $_GET variables.

It displays Array ( [iD] => 193 )

So its in there? Im still puzzled. It wont pass into a variable using $ClientID = $_GET['ID'];

When I echo $ClientID it is empty.

Show some code.

Are you echo'ing the variable, or using die. Because it won't show if you use die, you have to do something like:

 

die("ID: " . $ClientID);

Ehhhh.... I was putting the PHP code in a file called client.php and including it using require_once('includes/client.php');, when I just transferred all the code to the originating page it works. Blah. Dont know why, but whatever. Thanks guys.

OK, I'm officially ratarded.... I was working on a local copy of client.php in phpdesigner, I had 2 tabs with the same name. Jesus. I seriously wasted like an hour of my life because of this.
