PHP - $_get With Ampersand Again

Hello,

I'm pretty new to php and have a small problem I can't figure out.

I have passed some copy (john & mary) from a small form to a url with php (i used urlencode). The code in the url looks like this john+%26+mary.

My problem is, how do I display the %26 as an actual ampersand (&) on the html page? Here is the snippet of code that I am currently using to display the names.

<?php echo htmlentities($_GET['gallery']); ?>

I have searched and searched and can't find anything to figure this out.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

I have some javascript for a tabbed interface in index.php. The content of each tab is in content.php which uses $_GET to define which tab is selected. But i want to include queries based on variables from index.php how would i do this?

here is the code for the tabbed interface:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo SITE_ROOT; ?>/js/ahahLib.js"></script> 
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> 
function makeactive(tab) { 
document.getElementById("tab1").className = ""; 
document.getElementById("tab2").className = ""; 
document.getElementById("tab3").className = ""; 
document.getElementById("tab"+tab).className = "active"; 
callAHAH('includes/content.php?content= '+tab, 'content', 'Loading...', 'Error'); } 
</script> 

<ul id="tabmenu" > 
<li onclick="makeactive(1)">
<a class="" id="tab1">Account Information</a>
</li> 
<li onclick="makeactive(2)">
<a class="" id="tab2">Second Page</a>
</li> 
<li onclick="makeactive(3)">
<a class="" id="tab3">Third Page</a>
</li> 
</ul> 
<div id="content"></div> 

and the code in content.php

if ($_GET['content'] == 1) { echo 'Content for Page 1'; } 

if ($_GET['content'] == 2) { echo 'Content for Page 2'; }

if ($_GET['content'] == 3) { echo 'Content For Page 3'; } 


ive tried adding the variable $user_id to the content.php url as follows:

callAHAH('includes/content.php?user=$user_id&amp;content= '+tab, 'content', 'Loading...', 'Error'); } 

but that just brought up an error.

how do i get the id from the url so i can use it

I am seen people have dynamic pages that loads the information from a database and then displays that information from the url. EG domain.com/somedirectory/something I have a website that does this but uses domain.com/something.php?id=something . This works great but when I go to try and get the statistics for that page from facebook for number of people that have liked that page.

When I go to: http://graph.facebook.com/http://likebook.cz.cc/ It shows me the information:
Code: [Select]
{
   "id": "**************",
   "name": "LikeBook",
   "picture": "http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/hs178.ash2/41817_130259343675613_3465_s.jpg",
   "link": "http://www.facebook.com/pages/LikeBook/130259343675613",
   "category": "Website",
   "description": "Collect every like at LikeBook.cz.cc",
   "fan_count": 3
}
But when I try and go to: http://graph.facebook.com/http://likebook.cz.cc/like.php?id=31 It shows me:

Code: [Select]
{
   "id": "http://likebook.cz.cc/like.php"
}
So what I need to do is. Make a dynamic page within that sub directory.

So that http://likebook.cz.cc/like/31 does grabs the information from line 31 of my database, like http://likebook.cz.cc/like.php?id=31 would do.

Thank you

I am really confused about how people use $_GET to give a page a link

so far what I understand is that $_GET grabs the information from a link

So if my link was http://localhost/stargate/users/profile.php?goauld=Sam

how do I turn this into viewing Sams profile soon as i type in that link with out having to hit a search button first

would really appreciate if someone help me understand this please cause it appears i really need to know how to do this.


Code: [Select]
<?php

if(isset($_POST['search'])) {

// searches goaulds then displays them

$search3 = "SELECT goauld,id FROM users WHERE goauld='".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['goaulds'])."'"; 

$search2 = mysql_query($search3) or die(mysql_error());

WHILE($search1 = mysql_fetch_array($search2)){ 

$grab_goauld = $search1['goauld'];


echo '<table width="300" height="5" border="1" align="center">';  

echo '<th><center>Goauld Statistics</center></th>';     

echo "<tr><td height='340'>$grab_goauld</td></tr>";       

}

}   


echo '</table>';  ?>

I cannot seem to get my link to work.. I want to build a php script that has more than one $_GET command.. The link I want to make is: index.php?section=tutorial&viewing=18-classes_or_ids.
Here is my PHP code..

<?php
$section = $_GET['section'];
switch ($section)
{
case "home":
include("home.html");
break;
case "register":
include("register.html");
break;
case "tutorial_home":
include("tutorial.html");
break;
default:
include("home.html");
}
$tutorial = "?section=" .  urlencode('tutorial&viewing') . $_GET['tutorial&viewing'];
switch ($tutorial)
{
case "18-classes_or_ids":
include("classesorids.html");
break;
}
?>

Hi I am trying to use 2 codes to get a url link.

code1 (test.php):

    <form action="test1.php" method="GET" />
    link: <input type="text" name="link" /><br />
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </form>



code2 (test1.php)

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



If I input a link as a text such as "Yahoo" it works. But if I input a link as "http://yahoo.com", it didn't work .

I never really thought about it before, but recently I visited a site with a url like:

www.example.com/?OR

Which made me wonder how you would go about getting that keyname since it is without a value. Any ideas?

I am a new programmer. I am working on a personal project for my portfolio, it is a simple blog.
I am trying to give the user the ability to delete a blog entry. It works fine, the problem is that
when you refresh the page, with out clicking 'delete' the entry is still deleted. $_GET is passing
the $id to my function and it is executing. The code I have posted is my effort to fix the problem.

How can I connect $_GET to the delete button ? I have tried using a hidden value but this is not working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
AL


Code: [Select]
// code to display message before deletion
if($_GET['T'])
{
echo("<div style='float:right; width:25%; height:100px; position:absolute; top:150px; right:15%;'>");
echo("<h2>Are you sure you want to delete:<h2>");
echo $_GET['T'];
echo("<form method='get' action='?'>");
echo("<input type='submit' name='button' value='Delete'>");
echo("<input type='hidden' name='submit_check' value='1'>");
echo("</form>");

echo("<form action='http://nuke.industry.com/Blogspiracy/UserPage/index.php'>");
echo("<input type='submit' value='Cancel'/>");
echo("</form>");
echo("</div>");
}

// code to delete a selected blog entry
function delete_blog($id)
{
global $dbh;
$sql = "DELETE FROM tblBlog WHERE tblBlog.id = '$id' LIMIT 1;";
$sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
$sth-> execute();
return;
}

if (isset($_GET['id']) && ($_GET['submit_check']))  how do I "GET" the hidden value?
{
$remove = delete_blog($_GET['id']);

}

Hi there,

I am new to this forum want to say Hi  to everyone  .
I just learn a little bit of PHP. I couldn't figure this out. Could someone please help me? Many thanks.

1. when I ran the 1st code below, it showed me "thank you" in the browser.
    <?php
    $title=$_GET[title];
    echo $title;
    ?>

2. when I ran the 2nd code below, I got what I wanted.
    <?php
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE title='thank you' ";
    ...
    ?>

3. when I ran the 3rd code below, it showed me a blank page  .
    <?php
    $title=$_GET[title];
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE title='<?php echo $title; ?>' ";
    ...
    ?>

How to make the 3rd code work like the 2nd one? It seems a php code under php is NOT working.

I have a link (http://site.com/user/redirect). This link directs me to "site.com/user.php?level=site.com/123.php?hp=1"

How can I echo just "site.com/123.php?hp=1"?

I know how to use $_GET but I don't know how I can apply it to this.

How to find the name  value using php or $_GET

here is the url

 header("Location:http://localhost:8666/OnlineBookingsPhp/index.php?name=Next");

Thanks
