Passing a Variable via URL to a Custom Script

[foochuck]

I'm using a PHP Form Mailer Script - you might have heard of it:

I'm trying to pass a variable into this script. Here is the information that the form mailer script provides for this process:

 

Passing values to the form

 

    To allow values to be passed directly to the form, all you have to do is change all references of $_POST to $_REQUEST (The REQUEST superglobal contains the values of both POST and GET items)

 

What I'm trying to do is pass a variable like so:

 

http://www.mywebsite.com/mypage.php?listingid=001

 

I've tried putting this inside of the formmailer.php page:

 

$listingid = $_REQUEST['listingid'];

$email_subject = 'My Listing #' . $listingid;

 

However I can't get the 001 to work in the final email in place of $listingid .

 

Can anyone give me some suggestions on how to accomplish this?

 

Thanks
