Request.Querystring

[colinod]

I have a site that uses ASP and am trying to set up a feature where someone can add mp3 files to a list to email the list to someone through a form, i am having a problem getting more than 1 mp3 to list on the page, i thought that by using a Request.Querysting using a variable that stores the id numbers of all the mp3 you want to send and then adding that to the url it would work

code like this

shortlist.asp?mp3id=firstid,secondid,thirdid

this does not seem to work, i think it can be done with PHP but do not know how.

The idea is that i click a button next to the mp3 file listed to add it to a shortlist, then goto the shortlist page and email a link to the page with all the mp3 files selected relisted.

the website in question is www.yaketyyak.co.uk

there is a similar thing using php at www.anothertongue.com

Any help please

Hi colinod,

So what's the actual problem? Which bit of your code isn't working? Are you unable to retrieve the values correctly from the QueryString?

sorry for the delay, each mp3 file has an id number but when i load a page asking for the mp3 id numbers i am not sure how to code the link so that various numbers can be assigned to the field that contains the mp3 id so that i can call them in on another page

Not sure exactly what you are after here, but hopefully this will help. Using your code snippet from the OP:

shortlist.asp?mp3id=firstid,secondid,thirdid
 

In the shortlist.asp script you would just need to process the variables like so:

'''Assign GET variable
str_mp3 = Request.QueryString("mp3id")
'''Process str_mp3
str_mp3Proc = Split(str_mp3,",")
 

This will create an array str_mp3Proc. You can then loop through the array to create your list.

Hi Thanks for the info i think this is what i am looking for, would i loop through this the same way as any other loop in ASP

Do Until(str_mp3Proc.EOF)
If Not str_mp3Proc.EOF Then
response.write "yaketyRecordset("mp3id")"
str_mp3Proc.MoveNext
End If

Not sure how to loop this if above is not correct, i am not very good with asp looping!!!
I gather when i get this to work it will return a list of the info held in the mp3id field seperated by the commas
