viwing the array of ($HTTP_GET_VARS)

seanpaulcail

so I want to view the contents of $HTTP_GET_VARS VARIABLE.
if I type

echo ($HTTP_GET_VARS)

i get the rsponse "array"

how do I view this array?

suntra

Try print_r($HTTP_GET_VARS);

seanpaulcail

I still get "Array"

rIkLuNd

Use the [man]foreach[/man] function, like this:


foreach($HTTP_GET_VARS as $key => $val)
{
echo $key.' -> '.$val.'<br>';
}

Or do it like this:


while(list($key,$val) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS))
{
echo $key.' -> '.$val.'<br>';
}

seanpaulcail

it still doesn't work.

So I'm trying to simplify the command by trying to access one of the variables in a simple code

//if filled out
if ($ship_country)
{echo it's here;}
else{echo it's not here;}

but I keep getting error messages.

I'm getting nowhere with this.

Been working on it all day and I'm about to loose my mind

😃

If you don't want to use the results in a script, just view them, you might give this a try:

<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>

Unless you have a really long GET string, you could just look at your address bar.

Since GET variables are global, and you had to create the GET string in the first place, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what's in there.

If you want to use the data, just use the variables you put there.

seanpaulcail

the only thing I want to do, which shouldn't be very difficult is to view the array cretaed by a form using action "get" on the following page.

So far noone has been able to help me.

rIkLuNd

then you could do like this:

<pre>
<?php

print_r($_GET); // or $HTTP_GET_VARS

?>
</pre>

twopeak

or maybe
array_values($HTTP_POST_VARS);
and if that doesn't work, you could always try to put print_r() AROUND the array values, that should work?

seanpaulcail

first of all none of the above examples worked, though I appreciate th help.

MY get command get's info from the UPS server.
It also uses javascript to display the information.

Here's the code of the function within which the get command lay:


function display_shipping_form()
{


?>


<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--

function set_ups_rate(rate)
{

document.checkout.elements['ups_rate'].value = rate;
document.checkout.elements['show_ups_rate'].value = rate;
}

function ups_winOpen(){

width= "300";
height="200";
optionString = "scrollbars=yes,status=yes,menubar=no,resizable=yes,location=no,toolbar=no,width=" + width + ",height=" + height;

var country = document.checkout.elements.ship_country.options[document.checkout.elements.ship_country.selectedIndex].value; 
var zip = document.checkout.elements['ship_zipcode'].value;
var ServiceLevelCode = document.checkout.elements.ServiceLevelCode.options[document.checkout.elements.ServiceLevelCode.selectedIndex].value; 

var weight = document.checkout.elements['weight'].value;
if(ServiceLevelCode ==""){
	alert("Please select Shipping Service.");
	document.checkout.elements.ServiceLevelCode.focus();
	return false;
}

if(country ==""){
	alert("Please select ship-to Country.");
	document.checkout.elements.ship_country.focus();
	return false;
}

if(zip == ""){
	alert("Please select ship-to ZipCode.");
	document.checkout.elements.ship_zipcode.focus();
	return false;
}
self.name = "opener";
var es_zip = escape(zip);
var es_country = escape(country);
var es_weight = escape(weight);
var es_service = escape(ServiceLevelCode);
var	action = "ups.php?zip=" + es_zip + '&country=' +  es_country + '&service=' + es_service + '&weight=' + es_weight;
cartWindow = window.open(action,'cart',optionString);

return true;

so how do I get the information out of this form?

rIkLuNd

well, I don't think that you can access these get variables if your form hasn't been submitted.
to enable this, you'll have to add action="yourfile.php" in the form tag.

It doesn't matter because he uses a JavaScript function to send variables and values.

Like Digimatt suggested it, if you try phpinfo(), does it shows the contents of $_GET ?

rIkLuNd

oh sorry... didn't know that...

seanpaulcail

I even added action="purchse.php"

I guess it's the javascript.

Can anyone tell me how can access these variables?
for procesing? The only one I really need is the cost.
