eaglehopes Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) Hi to all ! I have a web page whose main page is index.php I try to use passing data inside embedded URLs : my code is below : <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body class="background" > <div> <a class="button" href="./index.php?page=home" target="_self">Home</a> <a class="button" href="./index.php?page=about" target="_self">About</a> <a class="button" href="./index.php?page=blog" target="_self">Blog</a> </div> <div> <?php include 'db.inc'; echo "page selected is ". $page ."\n"; // if user request blogs- then show blog menu here if ( strcmp($page,"blog")==0) { // get new menu from file echo "YEKEKE ". $page ."is blog"; if( include ('./pages/blog/categories/categories.php') == TRUE ) { // do nothing } else { echo "Page Load error..."; } } else { echo "try out"; } console.log($page."is blog"); ?> </div> </body> </html> However, it does not work since I could not get $page variable correctly, I get $page as blank variable. Why, where is my mistake? Any help is appreciated. Edit : I try to do that : 1. user click link in index.php page 2. get the new page inside index.php with sended value of the $page variable...

Solution eaglehopes Posted May 29, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted May 29, 2022 Ok ! I found the answer in answer . It says that, I forgot to get the variable passed by using $_GET["page"] . So below code solved my problem $page=$_GET["page"]; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 There used to be a time, long ago, where $page would be created automatically. If whatever resource you're learning from expects that to be the case and doesn't use $_GET/POST then you need to find another resource to learn from.

It happens exactly as you said : my resource is a book and it says that "PHP initialize $page variable automatically". It also says that use $HTTP_GET_VARS["varname"] to get the sended variable ! So I had to research extra documents to find that all of them depreceated. Time to change resource as you said :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
