Re: PHP Syntax Help - Check?

OK... external function... that would explain why I could not locate it. Let me get right to the problem I am having with this code as someone may be able to help directly. I have a link on a page that opens a contact form. The link is mypage.php?my_id=5 So on mypage.php, I capture this value with: $my_id=$_GET['my_id']; I understand this much. But when the end user submits this contact form they do so to formcheck.php and if formcheck.php sees a required field is blank, it throws it back to mypage.php with an alert. BUT, I lose the value of the variable $my_id. SO, I created a hidden field on mypate.php with value="<?php echo $my_id; ?>" and on formcheck.php, I added $my_id = $_Post['my_id']; However, when formcheck.php returns me to mypage.php, $my_id is still blank. Very frustrating. Any help determining what I am doing wrong is greatly appreciated. Thanks. --Rick On Feb 25, 2010, at 12:31 AM, Paul M Foster wrote:

Hello all. I'm trying to learn PHP on the fly and I have a line of code that contains syntax I can't find documented anywhere: php echo check('element8'); In the above line, can someone tell me what "check" means?

In the above, check is a function. It is being called with parameter 'element8'.

This is true. But perhaps more importantly, check() is not a native PHP function. Thus it comes from some other library or group of external functions. Paul --Paul M. Foster --PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
