[RESOLVED]Getting variable from URL for include
Hey all,
I'm designing a sort of CMS system for a dutch non-profit org. but I am kind of stuck now.
I want to retrieve the part in the URL that has a variable in it,Example:
http://domain.com/index.php&about
when the variable is &about I want the page to include about.html in the include statement
Like:
Code:
<?php include("http://domain.com/{&about}"); ?>
If I am not mistaken,
could anyone give me a code snippet that does work? I dont know how the $_get statement works yet but I am sure it has to do with this,
also note,I am not an expert in PHP at all, I am not even at the beginner level.
thanks a bunch in advance.
Re: Getting variable from URL for include
You need to use the $_GET[''] variable like you use the $_POST variable
btw the syntax for the url is incorrect in that way.
Code:
This would be correct
http://domain.com/index.php&id=about
The PHP part would look like this
PHP Code:
$myvar = $_GET['id'];
echo $myvar;
//If you use the example URL above, the output would be "about"

Thanks allot! But its not quite resolved yet,
As soon as I enter an ID the Server gives me a 404, Is this a problem with my server?

Re: Getting variable from URL for include
try this
PHP Code:
include("http://www.wijzijndeverandering.nl/$file.php");
instead of
PHP Code:
include("http://www.wijzijndeverandering.nl/{$file}.php");

I'm still getting a 404.
I changed the code as you said.
Here is the link
http://wijzijndeverandering.nl/versi...php&id=content
when I go to http://wijzijndeverandering.nl/versie2/index.php I get an error aswell(due to no ID variable bieing passed on, I should make an If statement for this right?)
________________
EDIT:
found it! I forgot to place a question mark next to Index.php, my bad,sorry.
Still open because of the If statement,
Re: Getting variable from URL for include
The problem is that you're actually opening
Code:
http://www.wijzijndeverandering.nl/content.php
which doesn't exist.
it would work if you'd change the code to
PHP Code:
include("http://www.wijzijndeverandering.nl/versie2/$file.php");
