OK....I hope I'm not going crazy...

ok...I'm trying to write a php page that involves passing parameters to itself within the URL (ex: "this.php?that=2"). Now, I've written a bunch of programs before doing this, and I remember them working, but now, it's not. So I wrote a quick test...

<html>
<body>
<?php
global $this;
print "this equals: $this ";
$this = 1;
print "this equals: $this ";
?>
<a href="test.php?this=2">test</a>
</body>
</html>

Now, when I click on "test", it shouldn't it display

this equals: 2
this equals: 1

?? Cuz it's not....the first "this equals" turns up empty. I'm going crazy....but I think I'm missing something really stoopid here....so please save me a bullet to the head.

Thanks!

About the "global $this;", I know that you need touse global inside something like a function, but when else is it used? because that codes' global is certainly not in a function.

read the post again, you probably have to use

Code: Select all: $_GET['this']

I read this posta bit more carefull this time, and I must agree that I don't see any use for the "THIS LINE":

Code: Select all: <html> <body> <?php global $this; //-- THIS LINE print "this equals: $this "; $this = 1; print "this equals: $this "; ?> <a href="test.php?this=2">test</a>

It doesn't do any harm though, so leaving it there is no problem, it simply does nothing (or i'm wrong

)
