$_Get returns no value

rcabrera

Please help me with this problem

I'm trying to pass a value to another php file through an anchor

printf("<tr><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td></tr>\n",$myrow["nombre"], $myrow["direccion"], $myrow["telefonos"], $myrow["email"],"<a href = \"http://localhost/curriculu.php?idsocio="
. $myrow["idsocio"] ."\">" . $myrow["idsocio"] . "</a>");

in the curriculu.php file I need the value passed in the IDSOCIO variable, I'm ussing the $_Get["idsocio"] method but no value seems to be passed, the idsocio field is a INT type

thanx in advance....

UPPERCASE

$GET array exists
$Get is totally different

rcabrera

in fact this is the piece of code I;m ussing to test de content of the variable

if (isset($GET['$idsocio']) and $GET['$idsocio'] != "") {
$this = $_GET['$idsocio'];
} else {
$this = 0;
}

echo "$this"

any other idea....

erm you should maybe try $_GET['idsocio'] and you'd prolly get better results 😉

I'm sure I leave de code like that when I become desperated, but I've already tried the rigth way... without any result, thanks for your time and patience.... I have even try making that variable global and I did it in the calling program.....

Bunkermaster

could you show a URL example so we can see what you have?

WE WILL PREVAIL!!! Never seen a behavior that couldn't be explained (well almost never 😉)

I made my way to make it work , but without ussing $_GET['idsocio'] , just with global $idsocio, I've read this should be avoided 'cause some security issues !!!, I have focused on make sure the variable has the passed value...

for testing purposes I've been replacing the .$myrow["idsocio"]. with a constant, lets say the number 2, in other file I just echo the $id variable, of couse in the practice I will use the value in another sql, but first I have to get the value.ok, actually as I have quoted, it's working but with just the sentence global $idsocio before the previous code.

although you ask for a url, I can't suply it 'cause I'm just working in the my company intranet

Bunkermaster

from what I see it's not $GET that you should use but $REQUEST... Was onlyu asking for the query string part 🙂

btw what is your PHP version? if bellow 4.1 you can't use $_XXXXX syntax...

rcabrera

with your advice but it didn't work, I'm working with version 4.0.6 !!! should I upgrade ??? I just wonder how in earlier version you accomplished that....

btw thanx again....

Try $HTTP_GET_VARS['idsocio']

it 's really weird, it seems that I can only pass a value through a form using a post method....
