Hi,

I have some code, which works on a normal php page. The code snippet created will find the $_GET['retval2'] but no if statements work in the snippet, it defaults to the else.

myurl.com?retval2=survey

<?php
if($_GET['retval2'] == 'survey') { 
    $url = './BLOBSurveyVerify.php';
} else { 
   $url = './BLOBFSBMemberVerification.php';
}

echo $url;

using snippet

[[quoteSurvey]]

Try

return $url;

instead

Try
return $url;
instead

Also, try calling the snippet uncached (by placing an '!' at the beginning), e.g. [[!quoteSurvey]]

Was the plain PHP file in the MODX directory? If not, maybe a rewrite rule in the MODX .htaccess file is missing the QSA directive to append the query string. It will still show in the URL, but won't be in the &_GET array.

Hi,

using snippet
[[quoteSurvey]]

Unless it is just a typo in your forum post, the snippet should be preceded by an exclamation mark.

[[!quoteSurvey]]
