$_get['id']

Hi:

Is it possible to transfer the value stored in $_GET['ID'] to another page?

In the Search pages generated by the WA Wizard, $_GET['ID'] is used to display the chosen record in the Details page. Is there any way to use the value stored in $_GET['ID'] in an email form after the details are displayed?

Thank you for your attention

the $_GET variable collection refers to the querystring at the end of the page address.

$
the variable $_GET['id'] referes to a url variable named id, for example:
page.php?id=22


you can pass that along to another page using a link:
<a href="page2.php?id=<?php echo(isset($_GET['id'])?$_GET['id']:""); ?>">click here</a>


as long as the id querystring variable is passed as part of the page address to the email page, it can be used in the email.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it ASAP.

Thanks

Jason:

In the link: <a href="page2.php?id=<?php echo(isset($_GET['id'])?$_GET['id']:""); ?> What would "page2.php" stand for? The "Details" page name or the "Email" page name? Also, do I insert that link in the "Details" page or in the "Email" Page?

Thanks.

page 2 stands for any page you want to send the id querystring variable to.

OK. I'll give it a shot.

Thanks

Jason:

I'm not sure I have understood this well. I pasted the link you sent me in the page that supposedly has the record ID stored in the $_GET['id'] variable and substituted the email page name for "page2" in the link, but the Email page is not receiving the value.

By the way, the following is the SQL query that retrieves the individual record whose ID # I would like to pass to the Email page:
-------------------
SELECT ID, Gender, FirstName, Nationality, Country, Occupation, MaritalStatus, HowMany, DescribeSelf, DescribeOther, Photo01, Hobbies, City, Children, HowMany
FROM profiles
WHERE ID = ParamID OR ( -1= ParamID2 AND ID= ParamSessionID)
--------------------
As you can see, there are 3 variables in that query: ParamID, ParamSessionID, and $_GET['id'].

I frankly don't know whether the record ID is stored in $_GET['id'] or in any of the other two.

Any suggestions?

send a copy of your pages in a zip archive so i can examine the code.

Jason:

Attached please find the three pages involved:

1) TResults displays a selection of records that meet certain criteria
2) TDetails displays (in an iFrame) any individual record selected by the user
3) InterMemberEmail is the page I hope will use the Individual Record ID.

The link "Click Here" in TDetails opens the InterMemberEmail Page

on the TDetails.php page, change this code:

<a href="interMemberEmail.php?id=<?php echo(isset($_GET['id'])?$_GET['id']:""); ?>
              <p><a href="InterMemberEmail.php">Click Here</a></p></td>

to:

<p><a href="InterMemberEmail.php?ID=<?php echo(isset($_GET['ID'])?$_GET['ID']:""); ?>">Click Here</a></p></td>

and on the InterMemberEmail.php page, change

<form class="NewFromBlank_Default" id="SimpleContact_NewFromBlank_Default" name="SimpleContact_NewFromBlank_Default" method="post"  action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>">

to

<form class="NewFromBlank_Default" id="SimpleContact_NewFromBlank_Default" name="SimpleContact_NewFromBlank_Default" method="post"  action="<?php echo ($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"].(isset($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"])?"?".htmlentities($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]):""));?>">
