Variables

[plapeyre]

if i have the address: index.php?create

how do i code so that it recognises the "create" as isset, instead of an actual variable that i need to create, such as "?do=create"

hope that make sence?

Kind Regards,

Phillip

index.php?create

isset($_GET['create']); //true
echo $_GET['create'];   // (empty)

maybe u are thinking of $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] ? which will return create.

but if you have a limited number of strings that can go in the url, you could do

if (isset($GET['create'])) {
something
} else if (isset($GET['delete'])) {
something else
} etc...

I might try that query string one .. 🙂 ... this is what i had after reading the forums (after posting).. which also works.. it's ugly. but it works 🙂

  $create_var = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
  $modify_var = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
  $remove_var = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

  if ($create_var == "/account.php?create") {
    $global_body = "$templatedir/account_create.xml";
  }
  if ($modify_var == "/account.php?modify") {
    $global_body = "$templatedir/account_modify.xml";
  }
  if ($remove_var == "/account.php?remove") {
    $global_body = "$templatedir/account_remove.xml";
  }
  else {
    $global_body = "$templatedir/account_list.xml";
  }

ye you could change it to

switch($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])
{
  case 'create': $global_body = "$templatedir/account_create.xml"; break;
  ...snip...
  default: $global_body = "$templatedir/account_list.xml";
}

of course, if theres anything else in the query string, that breaks, in which cause u might go w/ the if/elseif i posted above in the 2nd message
