ok here it is i wanted to to is get the number off the url at the end done it cheers.

 

<?php
$my_url=$REQUEST_URI;
$x=substr($my_url,-6);
echo $x;
?>

[Jessica]

What the heck are you saying? The number on the url?

Are you smoking something?

[redarrow]

jesirose the number i was talking about is a number that i have comming from the members email account, That number of the url updates the database to tell the database that the user is now a active user ok.

 

i dont smoke and i am a blind php programmer  so my spelling is crap sorry ok.

If it's something like id=5, then you use $_GET, not what you have, that's all.

[redarrow]

i did use $_GET to get the condition of the url example member=active in a url then the above code to get the last six digits.

 

 

example only what i was doing

<?php

//members url from there email account with 6 numbers on the end.

$url="www.google.co.uk?member=activate&123456";

 

//get the numbers from the url with a $_GET condition.

 

if($_GET['member']="activate"){

$my_url=$REQUEST_URI;

$x=substr($my_url,-6);

 

//update the database

?>

 

Are you saying that i could of used two $_GET statements as the connditions.

 

example2 only

 

<?php

//members url from there email account with 6 numbers on the end.

$url="www.google.co.uk?member=activate&num=123456";

 

//get the numbers from the url with a $_GET condition.

 

if($_GET['member']="activate"){

 

$update=$_GET['num'];

 

//update the database

?>

 

[Jessica]

yes, that would make much more sense.
