Using $_GET[]

Hi,

Can someone tell me what might be wrong with this code?



$id returns empty, even when $_GET[’catid’] is set and I dont know why.

Thanks.

Hi,

Zi helped me with some suggestions but i’m having another problem.

When $_GET[’catid’] is set, it only outputs the number 3...which would be correct if it only outputted that number when $_GET[’catid’] equalled 3, but it’s not. It just keeps outputting that number, even when $_GET[’catid’] isn’t set, which is weird.

So say i have 3 url’s.

index.php?id=4&catid=1, index.php?id=4&catid=2, index.php?id=4&catid=3

When i try to output $_GET[’catid’], all it will output is 3 and not 1 or 2.

Thanks.

How is the code being called? If this is in a snippet, make sure you call the snippet uncached ... [!mySnippet!]

Hope that helps, Garry

Yes it is a snippet, but I don’t understand what you mean by calling it uncached, i just used the [[snippetname]] to call it.

Hi Gaia, to call the snippet use: [!snippetname!]

That means the snippet will be run every time the page is loaded and won’t be cached with the rest of the content. This is of particular use especially when using $_GET variables in snippets.

ah, ok i see what you mean, it’s working perfectly now ^_^. Thanks.
