Passing Variable/Parameter from Chunk to Snippet problem

Something weird is happening with Modx 1.0.3. Any help would be appreciated.
For some reason the [*id*] which has a value of "8" yet, when i do a var_dump, it comes out as a string(6) but it should be string(1).


here is my snippet call from chunk:
[[rightContent? &quote=`[*pageQuote*]` &aboutImg=`[*aboutImg*]` &currentid=`[*id*]` ]]

the snippet rightContent get currentid:
$arr = array("currentid"=>$currentid);

then calls another snippet
$modx->runSnippet(’recentArticles’,$arr);

on the snippet recentArticles i compare currentid to the pageid and it fails.
var_dump($currentid); //OUTPUTS = string(6) "8"
var_dump($pageID); // OUTPUTS = string(1) "8"

Any Clues???

In Evolution (this is not true in Revolution), Snippets get processed after the content fields or template variables. This means the snippet is receiving the actual text [*id*], which is a string(6). You’ll have to aither call the snippet uncached (so the content fields/template variables are parsed before the snippet is), or you’ll need to find another way to pass the data to the snippet.

Thank you so much...
Calling the snippet the uncached way did it.
