URGENT $_GET[""]

[mike177]

Hi, I am trubg to get the users email address out of the url.

 

When they log in they are refirected to the index.php page from there they can go to the profile from the folloing link, [email protected].

 

now when they land on the profile page I want to echo there email (just as an example).

 

I use just a simple echo $_GET['email']. But it's not working. any suggestions.

 

Thanks for any help in advance.

Thats all I have on the 2 pages. I no the cookies are set and working fine but when I try to get information from the url nothing happen's

When you do

<?php
echo $_GET['$email'];
?>

 

The variable is not expanded since you surrounded it with single quotes. Use:

<?php
echo $_GET[$email];
?>

Actually, it is not a variable. It should be the name of the parameter -

 

$_GET['email']

My mistake. Yes that's right.
