GET Not Working

[unemployment]

I'm currently making a product tour.  I am rewriting the url with javascript and sending the user to their profile pages.

 

example:

http://dev.mysite.com/u/jason?welcome

 

I then use php to load my javascript via a get variable.

 

if (isset($_GET['welcome']))
{
echo 'test';
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
	focus.set('FOCUSTHIS', 0, 'absolute', 'Personal Information', function (body){
		$('<div class="test">.</div><div class="center ptm pbs"><a id="next_4" class="button" href="javascript: void(0)">Continue</a></div>').appendTo(body);
	});
});
</script>
<?php
}

 

Any reason why this wouldn't at least echo properly?  I am rewriting the URLs with mod rewrite.

What's your rewrite? You may need welcome=true

You should be assigning welcome a value, regardless of whether it fixes your issue or not. welcome=true or welcome=Y
