I am working with an old script someone else wrote that pulls data from this year as well as prior year.  A global is set: $thisyear = '2012'  According to my understanding this code:

<?php require 'main_include.php'; ?>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Conference</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link href="http://conferencecenter.edu/favicon.png" rel="shortcut icon">
<style type="text/css">
@import url("http://www.conferencecenter.edu/conference/style.css");

</style>
</head>
<body>

<?php
$includeFile = file_get_contents("http://www.conferencecenter.edu/conference/header.php");
	echo $includeFile;



//	Builds a list of all presenters and their sessions; ECHOs each individual entry for faster to-browser dumping in these long lists.
function general_lister($type, $year='') {
global $thisyear,$splitchar;
if ($year=='') $year = $thisyear;
if ($type=='featured') { echo "<h1>Conference $year Presenters and Topics</h1>"; }
else { echo "<h1>Conference $year Contributed Presenters and Topics</h1>"; }

// echo '<p><a href="presenters.php?type=featured&year='.$year.'">Featured Presenters</a> • <a href="presenters.php?type=contributed&year='.$year.'">Contributed Papers</a></p>';
echo '<p>Notice: the information presented here is subject to change without notice.</p>';

$bigList = presentersForYear($year,$type);

if (count($bigList)>0) {
	foreach ($bigList as $value) {
		echo general($value,$year);
	}
} else {
	echo "<h4>No $type sessions have been confirmed yet, but please check back soon.</h4>";
}
}

if (isset($_GET['presenter'])) { echo longbio($_GET['presenter'],$useyear); }
else if (isset($_GET['session'])) { echo sessAbstract($_GET['session'],$useyear); }
else if (isset($_GET['type'])) { echo general_lister($_GET['type'],$useyear); }
else { echo general_lister('featured',$year); }

$includeFile = file_get_contents("http://conferencecenter.edu/conference/footer.php");
	echo $includeFile; ?>
</body>
</html>

 

should pull the current data with the url being set at conferencecenter.edu/conference/presenters.php and pull the prior year with this URL: conferencecenter.edu/conference/presenters.php?year=2010 (or any other year).  It doesn't work.  No matter what the URL it only pulls current 2012 data.  I know this code has javascript in it - old javascript - and I just can't figure it out let alone where the problem is.  Here is some code from the main include file:

<?php
//	This PHP script contains routines used by the database-driven pages of the conference website.

//	First let's set up some global values:
global $keywordspage,$presenterspage,$calendarpage,$splitchar,$useyear,$returns;

require_once '/www/universal.php';
require_once 'prices_etc.php';
require_once 'formatting_functions.php';
require_once 'db_functions.php';

$splitchar = "\n";	//	This is the delimiter character for use in lists
$returns = array("\r\n","\r","\n");	// Break characters; generally used to convert all these to single standard one

if (!isset($_GET['year']) || $_GET['year']==$thisyear) {
$useyear = $thisyear;
$templateDIR = "http://www.conferencecenter.edu/conference";
} else {
$useyear = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['year']);
$templateDIR = "http://www.conferencecenter.edu/conference/old/$useyear";
}

$calendarpage = 'schedule.php';
$presenterspage = 'presenters.php';
$keywordspage = 'keywords.php';

function pWrap($string) {
if (strpos(strtolower($string),'<p')===FALSE) $string = "<p>$string</p>";
return $string;
}

function sortSessions($sessionsArray,$fieldName) {
if (count($sessionsArray)<2) return $sessionsArray;

$qString = 'SELECT `id` FROM `sessions` WHERE';
$count = 0;
foreach ($sessionsArray as $session) {
	$session = mysql_real_escape_string($session);
	if ($count!=0) $qString .= ' OR';
	$qString .= " `id`='$session'";
	++$count;
}
$fieldName = mysql_real_escape_string($fieldName);
$qString .= " ORDER BY `$fieldName`;";
$result = mysql_query($qString);
$output = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
	$output[] = $row['id'];
}
return $output;
}

function presentersForYear($year, $type) {	// Type can be "all" for all presenters
global $splitchar;
if ($type=='all') $type = "invited' OR type='contributed";
else $type = mysql_real_escape_string($type);
$year = mysql_real_escape_string($year);

	$bigList = array();
$result = mysql_query("SELECT `name` FROM `presenters` WHERE `type`='$type' AND `hidden`!='yes';");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
	if (inYear($row['name'],$year)) $bigList[] = $row['name'];
}

$bigList = array_unique($bigList);
sort($bigList);

return $bigList;
}

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OP: In the start of your post you say

$thisyear = '2012'

 

Then your code is

$useyear = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['year']);
$templateDIR = "http://www.conferencecenter.edu/conference/old/$useyear";

 

$_GET['year'] is not the same as $thisyear. So I don't follow. Your whole post is confusing. Narrow it down to the section that doesn't work,
