Smarty & PHP problem... cannot use $_GET[id]

Can you give some example code?
As nacker2000 said, you probably missed off the quote.

As an example, this would work:

index.php?cat=1234&page=3

##index.php##
<?php
$page = $_GET["page"];
echo "The page variable is: " . $page;
//.. etc..
?>

It's a bit more complicated than that guys!

$_GET does not work at all.... it must be something to do with Smarty.

I have attached part of my code!

Also - $_GET[page] works perfectly well without quotes ;-)

{php}
 
$pagenav = "<div id=\"pagenav\" style=\"margin-top:5px; border:thin #CCCCCC;\">
			  <table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" width=\"120\" align=\"center\">
  				<tr>";
$i = 0;
while ($i < $total_pages && $i < 10) {
	$pagenav .= "<td width=\"12\" align=\"left\"><a href=\"home.php?cat=$cat&pageno=".($i + 1)."\">".($i + 1)."</a></td>";
	$i++;
}
 
$pagenav .= "</tr></table></div>";	
 
echo $pagenav;
 
$page = $_GET[pageno];
 
echo "<br />page get - $page";
 
{/php}

I forgot to say $page at the end is always empty

line 16 above, should be $page = $_GET['pageno'];

at the very top of your page, do this
  die(print_r($_GET));
if you see nothing there, try
  die(print_r($_REQUEST));

$page = $_GET["pageno"]; this is not the problem!

i have tried it with single, double quotes.....  its not the issue!!

die(print_r($_GET)); OR die(print_r($_REQUEST));

they just give me a number 1.

If you view the source code of it, was it just

1

or was there something else in there as well.

btw it might be relevant that this website is running with frames!

Just the number 1

>>i have tried it with single, double quotes.....  its not the issue!!
It may not be the problem now, but you need to put the quotes in there as it will probably become the problem later on.

Frames may be causing the problem, can you get the 'cat' variable ok?

Quick check, try

<?php
	if(isset($_GET['pageno'])){
		print('Page number set: ' . trim($_GET['pageno']));
	}else{
		print('Not set');
	}
?>

Is this page live on the net? Got a url? Wouldn't mind seeing request / response headers.

You could try putting
die(print_r($_GET)); OR die(print_r($_REQUEST));
in your frameset page (if it's PHP).

If you create a random file, like
testing.php
and inside there do
<?PHP
 print_r($_GET);
?>
then hit that in your browser
whatever.com/testing.php?sasdsasdf

does that show up?

i can only get the cat by using smarty code -

$cat = $this->get_template_vars('cat');

I have tried this but it does not work -

$page = $this->get_template_vars('pageno');

if i try $_GET['cat'] that does not work either.

I have tried a test.php file and that works as expected.

Are you familiar with smarty templates?

ok thats helped loads!  however, no i have a slightly different issue!

here is my url - home.php?cat=6052&test=1

if i echo $_GET['cat'] i get 6052&test=1

if i echo $_GET['test'] i get nothing

I could do a simple explode on this but it seems a little odd to go to these lengths.

I fixed the rest myself... i just needed a nudge in the right direction!

Thanks
