Content.php!

[subkida]

It seems like it isn't working at all.

No matter what id I send through: http://locahost:8080/tests/content.php?id=X

all it does is load the page and say done with that ^ link as the address insted of completing the switch statement. It won't even echo out the value of $id.

It was working last night.

Any know why this might be?

It would help to see some code. We can't really help you troubleshoot just a url.

This is true. 😃

Here is content.php.

<?php

//Content for the navigation bar.

$_GET['id'];

switch ($id)
{
	case 1:
	include("index.php");
	break;

case 2:
            include("roster.htm");
break;

case 3:
include("league.htm"); 
break;

case 4:
include("match.htm"); 
    break;

case 5:
include("schedule.htm"); 
break;

case 6:
include("challenge.htm"); 
break;

case 7:
include("join.htm"); 
break;

case 8:
include("newpost.php");
break;

case 9:
include("delete.htm"); 
break;

case 10:
include("forums.htm"); 
break;

case 11:
include("servers.htm"); 
break;

case 12:
include("rules.htm"); 
break;

case 13:
include("contact.htm"); 
break;

 default; break;
}

?>

And here is my code calling content.php.

<div id="NpdTab" style="position:absolute; left:512px; top:330px; width:100px; height:15px; z-index:12" class="pdTab"> 
  <div align="center"><a href="http://localhost:8080/tests/content.php?id=8" class="pdLink">new 
    post</a> </div>

Thanks!

$id = $_GET['id'];

[laserlight]

if $id is not used later it would be even better to use
switch ($_GET['id'])

[paul088]

Is it necessary to put double quotes around those numbers, ie,

case "1":

[laserlight]

No, it isnt for numeric strings.
Though if you did want to explicitly confirm it as a string single quotes would be more appropriate.

[leetcrew]

you should only use double quotes if you are dealing with strings....

[subkida]

Thanks guys! 😉

[leetcrew]

our pleasure 🙂

I've seen this a lot on these boards and would just like to point out that in newer versions of php you don't have to do this, php does it for you. You can access form variables by just calling them as a variable.

if the webserver admin sets the globals on...

newer versions of php

even older version of PHP does it for you
