Passing variables from one html page to another...
Hi,

I am trying to follow a simple example for posting variables from one web page to another....I was hoping someone might be able to explain what this error means to me!

this is where i pass my variable name:

<html>
<head><title>Testing Vars </title></head>

<body>

<a href="welcome.php?$name=Kevin">Hi, I'm Kevin! </a>

</body>
</html>

and this is where i am getting my error:

<html>
<head><title>Welcome Page</title></head>

<body>

<?
echo ("Welcome to our Web Site, $_GET['name']!");
?>

</body>
</html>


this is what the error says:

Notice: Undefined index: 'name' in E:Inetpubwwwrootallnorth_testwelcome.php on line 10
Welcome to our Web Site, !

I know this is a very simple example, but i have to figure this out in order to apply it to what i am doing....in which i am getting the same errors only there is so much code that i cannot figure it out!!

i hope someone can help,
thanks.

RE: Passing variables from one html page to another...
In your link's href attribute, you need to remove the $ from the front of the variable name you are passing.

i.e.:
<a href="welcome.php?name=Kevin">welcome</a>

In your code, (if you do a print_r($_GET), which will dump the contents of the $_GET array) you will notice that there is an index named '$name' (literal $) with the value 'Kevin'.) So if your echo line had been:
php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. echo "Welcome to the website 
  3. ' . $_GET['$name'] . "!";


it should / would have worked.

$_GET['name'] should work fine, but when calling an array within a string you need to surround it w/ curly braces - {$_GET['name']}
