Query Strings

[sean1230]

Hi,

I am just making the trasition from Active Server Pages, How to I get the value of a query string based on a user choice in php? I have pasted the code below in asp, could someone paste a php code snippet?

Thanks in advance for your answer

<a href=mail.asp?InformStudents=" & rs("SCHEDULENUM") & ">Inform the students</a>

InformStudents = trim(Request.QueryString ("InformStudents"))
strQuery = "SELECT STUDENTS.EMAIL FROM STUDENTS WHERE SCHEDULEID=" & InformStudents & ""
rs.Open strQuery, objConn

PHP\\'s equivalents to ASP

Request.QueryString(\\"VarName\\") = $HTTP_GET_VARS[\\'VarName\\']

Request.Form(\\"VarName\\") = $HTTP_POST_VARS[\\'VarName\\']

PHP also does a simple variable for you so in both of the above, instead of using $HTTP*VARS[\\'VarName\\'] you could just use $VarName. Similar to ASP\\'s Request(\\"VarName\\") simplification.

<a href=mail.php?InformStudents=\\"$SCHEDULENUM\\">Inform the students</a>

On the mail.php page $InformStudents would hold the value from teh query string.
