Re: ?=something

Here's a script that can let you test for all these kind of things and see what exactly they can do for you: <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> <pre> <?php ob_start(); print_r(get_defined_vars()); $text = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); echo htmlspecialchars($text); ?> </pre> </body></html> When you save this as a file, i.e. dumpvars.php, then call it with that parameter: http://www.somedomain.com/dumpvars.php?yes You will see that the PHP globally defined argv array has in it : [argv] => Array ( [0] => yes ) So you can do whatever you want with that value, and it's easy to test for. Also, if you have register_globals set to Off, then you can access the argv array as $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['argv'], something like this: $argv = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['argv']; if (count($argv) > 0) { foreach ($argv as $key => $value) { if (is_numeric($key)) { switch ($value) { case "yes": // do stuff break; } } } } Mike Eheler Alex Shi wrote: >Well I know my question is deinately biased from this list, but your >question do recall me something: one time I even saw a url like this: >http://www.myweb.com/mypage.html?yes > >How could a parameter be passed to a .html, and how could a value be >passed without a name? > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Kacey A.
