What to replace "$_REQUEST" with, so that it pulls from current page?

[ghurty]

I have a script I am trying to modify.

Currently the script gets the settings from a calender, and when you click on the day it gives you details.

What I am modify it to automatically display todays details:

 

Here is the Original code:

<?php
$day = $_REQUEST["day"];
$month = $_REQUEST["month"];
$year = $_REQUEST["year"];
$locName = $_REQUEST["locname"];
$location = searchLocation($locName);
print $location;
if ($location != "") {
  $caption = "Tidesfor $day, $year, $locName";
  $elevation = $location[3];
  CalculateTidesForDay($month, $day, $year, $location[0], $location[1], $location[2], $elevation, $caption);
}
?>

 

What I have done so for is:

$activelocation = "New York, NY";
$day = date("j");
$month = date("n");
$year = date("Y");

 

I am running into problems with setting the location:

$locName = $_REQUEST["locname"];

Currently it is using an array, and I cant figure out what to replace it with. I want it to use the $activelocation for the array.

 

 

Thanks

What ?!!

 

maybe

$location[0] = "X";

$location[1] = "Y";

$location[2] = "Z";

 

but you lost me!!

Sorry 

 

Basically, the way it was set up until now was that you made a selection on one page, and it would generate a schedule for you on the second.

I am trying to make it that you only need to display the second page, and it will give you a schedule based on today, and your preset location.

 

However, i am running into a problem,

It used to be, that the settings was set in the web address: "sched.php?day=$day&month=$month&year=$year&locname=$activelocationurl"

 

So I set it that instead of day, month, year, it would do todays info.

But I am having a problem with the location

 

It uses

$locName = $_REQUEST["locname"];
$location = searchLocation($locName);

to build an array of the information about the location: (which is in a .inc file)

for example here is one location:

"Abilene, TX",                32.27,  -99.44, -6, 0, ""

How can I tell it to do that with out using the "$_REQUEST["locname"]" rather by using a preset variable I made earlier:

$activelocation = "New York, NY"
$locName =  ????[$activelocation] 

 

I dont know what to substitute for the?????

 

Thanks
