$GET_[pass]; errors

[sn0n]

admin.php

$pass = $GET_[pass];
if ($pass == admin) {
echo "Welcome!";

}

<a href='?page=admin.php&?pass=admin'>Admin</a>

can someone tell me why that isnt working?

[lemist]

two things I can see

1) you don't really need $pass = $GET_["pass"];

2) replace your link with this:
<a href="?page=admin.php&pass=admin">Admin</a>
notice that &?pass was changed to &pass

[sn0n]

if ($GET_[pass] == admin) {
echo "Welcome!";
}

<a href='?page=admin.php&pass=admin'>Admin</a>

still not working..

[lemist]

if ($pass == admin) {
echo "Welcome!";
}

<a href="?page=admin.php&pass=admin">Admin</a>

[sn0n]

nope

[lemist]

if ($pass == "admin") {
echo "Welcome!";
}

<a href="?page=admin.php&pass=admin">Admin</a>

[sn0n]

ok, im doing $GET from inside a included page when the main page has a $GET also, its looking like thats whats messing me up.. :-\ does it matter? or am i just coding wrong?

[lemist]

see above (admin didn't have quotes around it)

[sn0n]

thnx i think, still isnt working, but ill figure it out. im just gonna trash the idea and start over
hehe

[scoppc]

$_GET['pass']

yeah, I think this is a case of accidentally switching where the underscore should be, as scoppc pointed out.

You would use:

if ($_GET['pass'] == admin) {
	echo "Welcome!";
}
