Unable to retrieve QUERY_STRING

[dcooper]

Hey,

I'm working on an affiliate tracking script, simple banner click thing and have hit a problem.

When a customer clicks on a banner the url contains the affiliates id, i.e. 123.php?a=test .
This page then forwards the customer to an enquiry form enq.php i need to try and retrieve the affiliate id (a=test) from the query string, but because 123.php forwards the customer it is always empty.

Has anyone got an idea how i can work around this?

Many thanks
Dan

Dan, post the code that creates the URL i.e. 123.php?a=test and the action for the form submit.

You'll get the query string with the following : $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']

You'll get the contents of " a " with :

-> $GET['a'] IF the request method is GET
-> $POST['a'] IF the request method is POST
-> $_REQUEST['a'] (the request method does not matter)

pass the query string you got on 123.php to enq.php while redireting as,

header('enq.php?id=' . _GET['a'] ) ;

thus it is also available in enq.php as query string
