SideBar navigation

[Create]

Ok, I wrote this script based on a tutorial I have read to test out what I had learned(or though I learned, anyway)

<?

$headers = array(
'header1' => 'test2.php?s=1',
);

$sublinks = array(
'Sub1' => 'www.test.com',
'Sub2' => 'action1.php?s=2&b=1',
'Sub3' => 'www.test3.com'
);

foreach($headers as $key => $value) {
echo "<a href='$value'>$key</a><br>";
if(($s == "1") && ($key == "header1")) {
foreach ( $sublinks as $key => $value ) {
echo "<a href='$value'>$key</a><br>";
}
}
}

?>

My problem is, the first array is printed, but whenever I click the link to open the sub-links, nothing happens. It just changes the page to test.php?s=1. I have no idea why it doesn't work, it doesn't give me parse errors or anything.

It sounds like you might have global variables turned off (which it is by default for security reasons on recent versions of PHP)

You need to call the variables by their method, $_GET in this case. Try putting this little snippet on top the page, which will catch and asign all get variables. When you start writing applications, though, you are better off explicitly calling each variable you need.

foreach($_GET as $key => $val){
$$key=$val;
echo "Variable: ".$key." = ".$val."<br>";
}
