php $query_string

razymon

Hi
I have end users coming to my site and I check the url for an affiliate (ie: http://www. domainname?affiliate=123456 which works. I then redirect them automatically using a header(Location.....) to a secure url https://secure.domainname?affilite=$affiliate
I use the following code to check the url in the secure site but it returns no values.
?>
$envs = array("QUERY_STRING");
foreach ($envs as $env)
{
if (isset($$env))
$checkaff="${$env}";
}
print "$checkaff<br>\n";
$passed_affiliate_array = explode ("=", $checkaff);
$aceaffiliate = "$passed_affiliate_array[1]";
print "$aceaffiliate<br>\n";
?>

My question is there something diffeent the fact that it https.

Any contributions would be greatly welcomed - it's driving me crazy as all the literature I've read seems to say it works however doesn't mention anything about https

Please help

Regards

I don't really know what you're asking for, but I do see an error in your code. You are using array("QUERY_STRING"). This would equal an array with the key 0 as "QUERY_STRING." I doubt this is what you really want.
You want $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"], most likely, which is not an array.

Thanks for the reply. The code i displayed does actually work
I'll explain a little more in detail

there is a link in http://www.chapter3.net.nz which appends an id CHAP03 (ie: href http://www.travelace.info?affiliate=CHAP03) this in turn goes to www.travelace.info which I use the displayed code to capture the id (CHAP03). That works properly. this is what I use first off to capture CHAP03 and it works
$envs = array("QUERY_STRING");
foreach ($envs as $env)
{
if (isset($$env))
$affiliate="${$env}";
}
$affiliate_array = explode ("=", $affiliate);
$affiliate = "$affiliate_array[1]";
#print "affiliate = $affiliate<br>\n";

if("$affiliate" == "")
	{
	header("Location: [url]https://secure.travelace.co.nz/travelace.html[/url]");
	}
else
	{
	header("Location: [url]https://secure.travelace.co.nz/travelace.html?affiliate=[/url]$affiliate");
	}

it when I get to the page on the secure site using the same code but different variable names as displayed earlier I can't seem to capture the ID number

Does this help

I tried using what you suggested and it still didn't give me a result

Any further help would be really apprecated

Why don't you just use $_GET["affiliate"] rather than all that code?

Also, HTTPS is a different protocol than HTTP. This may mean that it can't even get GET data at all. It might be able to get POST data, however. You'd have to use something like cURL to send the POST data, though.
