Passing Variables using PHP and HREF

[tomc]

Hello Everyone,

First time user with moderate experience in PHP programming and installation. We had recently moved a site to a new server that was installed with Apache 2.0, PHP 4.2.3, Postgres 7.. The follwing script worked on an older ver. of PHP and postgres. It involved passing a variable to another page by href link. I usually nest my entire html within my PHP code.

echo "<b><a href=\"ccentermemo.php?ccsublistid=$ccsublistid\">$list</a></b>";

For some reason the variable is NOT passing over and my querry failed ( see below).

id=

(postgres7): SELECT * FROM ccsublist WHERE ccsublistid = ;

Warning: pg_exec() query failed: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ";" in /home/tclark/public_html/adodb/adodb-postgres.inc.php on line 199

Any ideas??

Thanks.

-Tom

you need to get the variable with $_GET["querystring_name"]. is that part of the problem?

I would bet the same thing... Older versions of php had the define_globals set to on by default (was it even a setting then?) so the way they do it now is to set the globals into an array. Just use the $GET array ($GET["ccsubid"]) and that should work.

On the first line just write:

$ccsublistid=$_GET[ccsublistid];

This is all you need to do.
