Variable not working..?

[thefisherman]

Hi!

I got this here:

<? $catego="test"; ?>
<form action="http://www.mysite.nl/printvars.php?keyword=".$keyword."&catego=".$catego." method=get">
<input type="text" name="keyword">
</form>

printvars.php prints $keyword correctly, but doesn't print $catego!

Is it because it wasn't chosen in the form, coz only name='keyword' is defined?

I need it because when people enter a certain part of a site, 1 variable should be set ($catego), and the other should be variable ($keyword).

Any idea?

Hmm, usually I don't use GET in combination with a form. GET is for url's...so,

<a href="http://www.mysite.nl/printvars.php?keyword=$keyword&catego=$catego">Click here!</a>

is what I'd be trying...

HTH,

The problem here is that you've escaped to HTML. You cannot use PHP variables while working in HTML mode.

Try this:

<a href="http://www.mysite.nl/printvars.php?keyword=<?php echo $keyword; ?>&catego=<?php echo $catego; ?>">Click here!</a>

OR

<?php echo "<a href=\"http://www.mysite.nl/printvars.php?keyword=" . $keyword . "&catego=" . $catego . "\">Click here!</a>"; ?>

Well, that'd be a problem; but it's not the one he had...

B-sidez, I had some real big php delim's hanging there, along w/ a nice echo and some cool quotes, even a ; --- I just didn't post 'em ... 😃 😃
