I am trying to transfer a variable from the URL into a contact form

  • 0

I am trying to transfer a variable from the URL into a contact form for saving to a MySQL database but don´t know how to do it correctly. SInce my needs are way above my knowledge in PHP and MySQL I am basically hacking a form plugin for rapidweaver which of course is causing all sorts of problems.

Say I have this url: http://www.example.com/index.php?id=200000

and I want to have the “200000” to show up in the form as the input in one of the fields.

I´ll reveal my naivity and complete lack of PHP knowledge by posting my own suggestion:

<input type="hidden" name="form[item_99]" id="item_99" class="fl-hidden" value="<?php echo @check('item_99','hidden','',id); ?>" />

(never mind the form item is set as hidden)

Of course that transfers “id”, not the value of the “url-variable” id. I tried $_get[‘id’]. It transferred nothing.

Any suggestions?

    Actually, $_GET['id'] should get the job done, and it’s weird that it wasn’t. Let me test it and post back and example.

    EDIT: After testing locally, this code definitely works.

    <input type="text" value="<?php echo @$_GET['id'] ?>">
