titangf Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 How do i get to call back the second variable... I have a page currently that isn't recognizing the second variable "display_pict".... any ideas?[code]//this is displayed in the url with the two variables that I want.../property_gallery.php?P_ID=2?display_pict=3.jpg[/code]This is the way i've been refering to the first variable, but it doesn't want to work for the second one.[code]$colname_details = $HTTP_GET_VARS['P_ID'];[/code]I need to be able to keep both of these variables seperate as they are called in different ways.Thanks in advance. I know i'm overlooking something and I guess I need another set of eyes looking at it to help me out.. lol. thanks again.

titangf Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 Found my mistake... it was in the url string...[code]/property_gallery.php?P_ID=1&display_pict=2.jpg[/code]Used an "?" instead of "&".... lolJust needed to take a step back from it all and look at it again.

alpine Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Use & from the second and on, only ? after the page name[code]property_gallery.php?P_ID=2&display_pict=3.jpg[/code]and $_GET[code]$display_pict = $_GET['display_pict'];[/code]BUT - it looks like you are doing a direct inclution of whatever the get variable says to include, so [!--coloro:#CC0000--][span style=\"color:#CC0000\"][!--/coloro--]display_pict=3.jpg[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--] might be [!--coloro:#990000--][span style=\"color:#990000\"][!--/coloro--]display_pict=include_bad_script[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--] and make a real fuzz on your serverJust as a note...... if it is so, i would consider doing things a bit different for the securityEDIT: Got me a second earlier there *lol* Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7887-accessing-second-variable-set/#findComment-28752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
titangf Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Just as a note...... if it is so, i would consider doing things a bit different for the security [/quote]I am aware of this... but this is information that does not need to be secure. I am not dealing with a shopping cart system so it shouldn't be a major concern. If someone wants to rip off some pictures off my website, I really don't mind. What would be a reason why I would want to secure the link down if i'm not utilizing a shopping cart system? (other than keeping people from prying) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7887-accessing-second-variable-set/#findComment-28756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 what i mean is that a bad script can easily be included to your server just by including it from the url - and it can do a lot more harm than just ripping off pictures. Probably a lot of examples, here is one i found just now: [a href=\"http://www.theserverpages.com/10101/21/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.theserverpages.com/10101/21/[/a] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7887-accessing-second-variable-set/#findComment-28762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
titangf Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 Thanks for that bit of info.... Didn't know that it was possible to do that outside of someone else's website. Something to consider for the future.. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7887-accessing-second-variable-set/#findComment-28765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
