Re: Weird $_GET behaviour with DB_DataObject_FormBuilder

Hi Justin, Yes, I had tried (int)($_GET['id']) as well, just didn't mention it here as my email was getting so damn long! ;). Didn't try intval, will do. And I'll try the other stuff -- but I just mention that I've seen this working fine in 1.3.4 which makes me confused. As for tying $e right -- I should hope so!-- If not, I've got more problems than I know ;) Will try debug level and let you know. s. Justin Patrin wrote: > Very strange behavior....
