having trouble passing/echoing variables in php tpl file
Posted: Wed Oct 05, 2005 10:34 pm
i created a page which is supposed to display a number of database records, 3 at a time from my mysql database. to do this i have more.php (code) and more.tpl.php (html template) file. on the page going into more.php i am sending (using httpd get) a $pastcount variable with a value of "3".
relevant more.php code
relevant more.tpl.php code
the problem is that the template file does not echo the variable, so it does not work. any idea why the variable is not echoing and how i can get it to?
relevant more.php code
Code: Select all
<?php
$tpl = new tpl("more");
$dat = Array();
$fnd = 0;
$pastcount = $_GET['pastcount'];
$rcount=$pastcount+3;
$res = mysql_query("select * from ratings order by tm desc limit $rcount,3");Code: Select all
<form method="get" action="/more.php">
<div align="center">
<input name="pastcount" type="hidden" value="<?$pastcount;?>">
<input value="Next 3 Reviews" type="submit"></div>the problem is that the template file does not echo the variable, so it does not work. any idea why the variable is not echoing and how i can get it to?
