http get vars

Manat

if (isset($pcode)) { $pcode=$HTTP_GET_VARS[pcode]; } else {$pcode=1;}

Is there something wrong with the above code?

I did a <title><?php echo $pcode; ?></title> and it always seems to output 460, and I have no idea why, nowhere in my code does pcode = 460 nor in the url.

then I do this with the pcode:

$swf1 = "<param name='movie' value='contest.swf'>";
$swf2 = "<param name='movie' value='pcontest.swf'>";
$swf1a= "'contest.swf'";
$swf2a= "'pcontest.swf'";

<?php if ($pcode==5344) {echo $swf2;} else {echo $swf1;} ?>
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src=<?php if ($pcode==5344) {echo $swf2a;} else {echo $swf1a;} ?>

What is wrong with my code, swf2 always seems to be outputed no matter what....

Thx

What version PHP? Isn't this better and more modern?:

<?
if (!$_GET['pcode']) {
   $pcode=1;
   }

$swf1 = "<param name='movie' value='contest.swf'>";
$swf2 = "<param name='movie' value='pcontest.swf'>";
$swf1a= "'contest.swf'";
$swf2a= "'pcontest.swf'";

if ($_GET['pcode']==5344) {echo $swf2;} else {echo $swf1;} ?>
                <param name="quality" value="high">
                <embed src=<?php if ($_GET['pcode']==5344) {echo $swf2a;} else {echo $swf1a;} ?>

I'd also probably do a var_dump() or print_r() to make sure all of those variables were coming out like I intended. Of course, maybe you already have?
