Viral PHP URL

[isleofman]

I'm trying to replicate this tutorial:

http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/pos … ribe-form/

 

I am unable to get the confirmation page to display the unique URL, as defined in the PHP $_SESSION['id'] The ref also doesn't appear for the successful subscriber in the campaign manager. All that is shown is <?=$_SESSION['name']?>

 

It might be that I haven't set up PHP correctly or I am missing something in the PHP session before the head tag.

 

Could somebody please tell me why I'm being such a fool?

Many thanks!

<?= is the lazy-way short open tag and is not enabled on all servers, resulting in code that is not portable between servers.

 

It is really a time-wasting shame that anyone posting code, tutorials,..., that they expect others to use, would waste peoples time by using a feature of a language that can be turned off, when there is a way of writting code that would work on all server configurations.

 

<?= needs to be replaced by <?php echo (you need a space after the echo.)

<? (by itself, no = ) needs to be replaced by <?php
