Hi all,

small question i hope.
I want to set a varible according to a url parameter but if the parameter is missing set the varible to a default value, was trying to use if else statements but error comes up if the http_get_vars['value'] can't find a value, is there a way to ignore the url if its missing ?

cheers

try setting the default value to "&" wtihout quotes.

<?php

if( $HTTP_GET_VARS["test"] )
{
$MyVar = $HTTP_GET_VARS["test"];
}
else
{
$MyVar = "MyDefaultValue";
}

echo($MyVar);

?>

Note: In 4.1.0 you can use $_GET (a super gloabal which can be used inside of functions) instead of $HTTP_GET_VARS which needs to be set as global.

thanks, I'll give that a try the day and see if it does what i want, looks like it will, tried a few things, but was starting to get frustrated with it.

cheers
