jt327 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Hey Guys,I know this is a common problem for people new to php, and ive done a lot of research before posting but so far cannot get it working. My problem is:i am trying to pass variables to a html page through the url : http://url.com/index.php?id=123&var=0 but am having trouble getting the variable from the other page. should i be doing something like..<?php$var= $_GET['var'];echo "the variable is: $var";?> If so is there a problem with this code? Will that php code work fine imbedded in a plain html file? or will i have to add somethin else? any help would be massively appreciatedThanks in advance,Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt327 Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Hi Destramic,Thanks for your quick reply. If i then wanted to reference the variables inside the html file, but outsite of the php code block, how would i go about doing this?Jared.

roopurt18 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 You can jump in and out of HTML with <? and ?>[code]<html> <head> </head> <body> <? echo $_GET['id']; ?> </body></html>[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destramic Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 <?php echo $id; ?>using php at the opening tag is good practice...sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt327 Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 hey guys sorry im really new to this, so a bit slow..would there be any way for me to access the variable through html without jumping into php with the <?php ?> tags?

Philip Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Javascript... not using any script - I can't think of anything off the top of my head. Why do you need it to where you can't run the PHP script? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt327 Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 well basically ive got a html page which im trying to adapt to php to work with my content management system. in the html file ive got a javascript function call which passes one of the variables passed to the page. somehting like..myFunction(var);what im trying to do is read in the var from the <?php $var= $_GET['var'];?>and then pass it to myFunction(). Im not the best coder so im not sure about the best way to go about this.Jared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destramic Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 im not sure on what you want to do but to use inside a function do something like this[code]<?phpfunction vars();{ echo $_GET['var']; echo $_GET['id'];}// display functionecho vars();?>[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
