error obtaining parameter value from GET URL - PHPBuilder Forums

error obtaining parameter value from GET URL

davidklonski

Hi

I have a PHP code which retrieves the value of a GET parameter using the following code (xxx is the variable name):

if (isset($_GET[xxx])) {
  $value = $_GET[xxx];
}

this code works perfectly when I run it on my machine (I am using Apache Web server), but the same line produces an error when I run it on Xitami Web server.

This is the error:
"Notice: Use of undefined constant xxx - assumed 'xxx' in

C:\xitami-25\app\webpages\file.inc.php on line 186"

Is my code correct?
Is it a configuration error in the Xitami installation?

thanks in advance

No, you need to quote your array keys. ie. $GET['xxx'], not $GET[xxx]. Otherwise, xxx could be a constant, and how's it supposed to know the diffenence?

define("xxx", "something");
echo $_GET[xxx];
// what should it look for?
// $_GET[xxx] or $_GET[something]?
