AW: [PHP] newbie question ; calling php script with parrameters from html

Hi, There are multiple Ways of getting that string. If your PHP-Server has globals=on in php ini you will recive that string in $selection variable. If not you recive it in $_GET["selection"] So I use a function to handle POST and GET Variabels. function getpost_ifset($test_vars) { $return = FALSE; if (!is_array($test_vars)) {$test_vars = array($test_vars);} foreach($test_vars as $test_var) { if (isset($_POST[$test_var])) { global $$test_var; $$test_var = $_POST[$test_var]; $return = TRUE; } elseif (isset($_GET[$test_var])) { global $$test_var; $$test_var = $_GET[$test_var]; $return = TRUE; } } return $return; } If i now want to get a ariable i either POST or GET from an URL i don't care if POST or GET. I just do getpost_ifset("selection"); and then I have a variable called $selection in my code with the given value. You could also do something like this. if(getpos_ifset("selection")) { echo "Selection variable is there with value: ".$selection; } else { echo "No Selection Variable givin in Link"; } Hope that helps.
