Mixing html, php and asp

request comes from a get method

In html I can code:

<%=request("variable")%> and it works ok.

Is there an equivalent to insert a get variable with php?

WebDevEM

I think this is what you're looking for:

<?php echo $_GET['variable'] ?>

Open in new window

to display the value from mypage.php?variable=123. It would need to be on a .php page though, so I'm not sure if you plan to mix php and asp on the same page somehow.

I set my code to this line:

"http://ciiam.com/alta/index.asp?ejec=<?php echo $_GET['variable'] ?>"

I need it to be:

http://ciiam.com/alta/index.asp?ejec=variable"

WebDevEM

What kind of page is this code on? (asp or php?) Can you post more of the code so I can see what you're doing better?

If this is on a mypage.php page, and you're trying to link to that URL, you might do something like this:

<a href="http://ciiam.com/alta/index.asp<?php echo $_GET['variable']; ?>">Alta</a>

Open in new window

If you could post more of the code, that would help.

It is html code:

Origial code is:

It is on a php platform and the variable comes from and html page

<iframe name="Alta Simplificada" frameborder="0" width="1000" height="1200" src="http://ciiam.com/alta/index.asp"></iframe>

I need to pass the variable (ejec) to the asp page:

<iframe name="Alta Simplificada" frameborder="0" width="1000" height="1200" src="http://site.com/alta/index.asp?ejec=<?php echo $_GET['variable'] ?>"></iframe>

WebDevEM

Ok, thanks... I've created test pages (on an internal server, so I can't send a URL) and have it working here.

test.php

<iframe name="Alta Simplificada"  frameborder="0"  width="1000" height="1200" src="http://site.com/alta/index.asp?ejec=<?php echo $_GET['variable']; ?>"></iframe>

Open in new window

form.html

<form method="get" action="test.php">
<input type="text" name="variable" />
<button type="Submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Open in new window

If you fill in the input box and press submit, it sends variable to test.php and adds it to the end of the iframe's URL. The key pieces that need to be paid attention to are that the NAME of the INPUT field (or SELECT, or whatever you use) needs to be the same as inside the quotes inside the $_GET['variable'] Also, my first example was missing a semicolon before the ?> so that may have caused an error.

With that code, if you enter a "3" in the box and hit SUBMIT, the php page will create

<iframe name="Alta Simplificada"  frameborder="0"  width="1000" height="1200" src="http://site.com/alta/index.asp?ejec=3"></iframe>

Can you do it with a post?

WebDevEM

Sure can - If you change the form to method="post" you just need to change the PHP code to $_POST['variable']. There's an article at http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp which explains it nicely and lets you experiment with it.

That's not a solution so can you please clarify why you would accept the comment above as one?

You can use javascript to get the variables in the querystring:

<html>
<head>
<script>
function getParameterByName(name) {
    name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
    var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
        results = regex.exec(location.search);
    return results == null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));

}
window.onload = function() {
	document.getElementById('myiframe').src = "http://site2.com/alta/index.asp?ejec=" + getParameterByName('ejec');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<iframe id="myiframe" name="Alta Simplificada"  frameborder="0"  width="1000" height="1200" src=""></iframe>

</body>
</html>

Tagit,

While yours is a valid solution using javascript, I believe I posted a valid solution using PHP as asked in the original post. Which solution he ends up using ultimately relies on what direction he decides to take with his code (server-side php or client-side javascript) and which he is more comfortable implementing.

No matter which way he goes with it, the goal is that he gets the job done that he came to solve. I'm not fighting for points here, but to say my answer isn't a solution seems a bit strong. It's a different solution than you would have used.

Hi...

Guys WebDevEM solution certainly works so it is a solution and I accepted as such.

I was trying to mix asp and asp codes and it did just that.

I am sure your javascript solution will work but it was posted after closed the question.

Otherwise I would have tested and considered your solution.

robrodp

ASKER

I agree. But if WebDevEM posted a solution it worked and I accepted it, I don't understand how another expert (tagit in this case) follows up (a closed question) says my accepted solution does not work (which does), post a different solution and gves another solution.

Am I mistaken here? Or should I consider addiitonal solutions once the question is closed as accepted?

What does this mean? On Sep 04 I accepted the solution
