send to another .php page

[malikah]

Hi, I would like to know how the "test.php" page should receive the following code:

 

<a href=test.php?vid="12345">Go!</a>

 

Thanks!

Using the $_GET[] variable, like this:

<?

$vid=$_GET['vid'];

$vid will be now 12345

?>

also the original link should not have quotes around the variable value.

 

<a href="test.php?vid=12345">

Using the $_GET[] variable, like this:

<?

$vid=$_GET['vid'];

$vid will be now 12345

?>

 

 

Hmm.. Didn't seem to work, but this did!:

 

$foo=$_GET['vid'];

echo ($foo);

 

Thanks anyway

$vid=$_GET['vid']; DOES worked.

You only added an echo function to output it..

Yes, use the code he posted:

 

<?php

$vid = $_GET['vid'];

echo $vid;

// or code to do whatever with $vid

?>

 

You do not have to print out the contents of $vid, I usually only use that for debugging purposes, just to check step by step my scripts, you can do whatever you want with $vid.
