simple explode and echo not working.. .php file

[antonyfal]

Hi,

Im trying to pull an email from an url, and then echo the email as value into a email form-- under the "from" heading. The echo is not working i get blanks.

 

here is the code:

<?php 
$thisurl='$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']';  
    $thepart = explode('/', $thisurl);	
$themail='$thepart[2]';
?>
<form method="post" action="sendit.php">
To: <br><input type="text" name="to" size="44" value="<?php 	for($i=1; $i<=$lines; $i=$i+1)
{
    $names[$i] = str_replace("<br>", "", $names[$i]);
    $names[$i] = str_replace("\n", "", $names[$i]);
	echo $names[$i].';';
}	

?>"><br>
From: <br><input type="text" name="email" size="44" value="<?php echo '$themail'; ?>" readonly><br>
Subject: <br><input type="text" name="subject" size="44" /><br><br>

Do print_r($thepart) to see what array explode is returning

thanks for the good trick..

 

this is what i get:

 

Array ( [0] => [1] => somewordhere [2] => somewordhere [3] => somewordhere [4] => theemailhere [5] => test.php )

 

I retried the code, it just started working..

 

I wrote the echo like so:

 

From: <br><input type="text" name="email" size="44" value="<?php echo $themail; ?>" readonly><br>

 

thanks again.
