help passing variables

[Shawn Northrop]

test.php:

<?php
$d=$_GET['data'];
echo $d;
?>

when i go to
www....com/test.php?data=1
nothing happens.

I have read a few articles on passing variables through the url and i believe this is the right syntax. Anyone see something im doing wrong?

Thanks

Syntax look OK. 'Nothing happens' is not much help. Do you go to the page you expect

Hi,

it should show 1 in the page. If u like to do something else u need to write the code instead of writting echo $d;

test.php:

<?php
$d=$_GET['data'];
echo $d;
?>

when i go to
www....com/test.php?data=1
nothing happens.

thats the problem, it does not show 1

if i change the code to:
$d = $_GET['data'];
echo ("hi" . $d); and go to www...com/test.php?$data=1; it prints:

Hi

However if i change
$d = $_GET['data'];
to
$d = 1;

Then it will print
Hi 1, like expected

Your posted code is inconsistent! Your first post named the url variable data

data.www....com/test.php?data=1 

In the second you name it $data

www...com/test.php?$data=1;

The dollar should not be there

Hi,

the url should be www....com/test.php?data=1 not the 2nd one. Try $_REQUEST['data']. But I still don't found any problem with ur code.
