Get url problem

[thefollower]

I have a get url which isn't working when the code checks if its clicked I don't know why though... this is what i got:

 

<div id="bv_" style="position:absolute;left:550px;top:273px;width:203px;height:24px;z-index:10" align="center">
<font style="font-size:21px" color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial"><b><u><a href="viewprofile.php?profile=<?=$_SESSION['Current_User']?>">View My Profile</a></u></b></font></div>

 

Then:

If (isset($_GET['profile'])){
$UserID = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['profile']);
Echo $UserID;
}

 

The url shows:

viewprofile.php?profile=1

 

So it has the correct ID number.. but my if statement isn't check it properly..

you need to have session_start() somewhere before you refer to the session.

[pocobueno1388]

you need to have start_session() somewhere before you refer to the session.

 

They said the URL was showing up fine, so obviously that is not the problem, plus this probably isn't their entire code.

 

I don't see any problems with what you have. Maybe post more of the script.

Is the mysql_real_escape_string function working???

I cant see anything wrong with your if statement so my guess is that it might be the function.

maybe its expecting an array instead of a normal value!

and do you have error reporting switched on???

if not place this code in the top of your page.

 

 

<?php

ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);

?>

hope this will help's you out a bit
