$_GET['Array Values']

Expand Post »

I want to use $_GET['error'] to fetch error messages from an array.

Heres my array:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$errormessages = array(
    'nosearch'  => 'Your search returned no results - <a href="guide?t=search">Click Here For Search Tips</a>',
    'captcha'   => 'The captcha you entered was incorrect, please try again.',);
$errormessages = array(
    'nosearch'  => 'Your search returned no results - <a href="guide?t=search">Click Here For Search Tips</a>',
    'captcha'   => 'The captcha you entered was incorrect, please try again.',);

So if I did echo $_GET['nosearch']; it would return Your search returned no results - <a href="guide?t=search">Click Here For Search Tips</a>
How can I do this?

Thanks

Re: $_GET['Array Values']

use this echo $errormessages ['nosearch']; instead of $_GET['nosearch']; If my answer is not reached your question, be more clear...

Re: $_GET['Array Values']

I wanted to use it in the URL. Because I need to redirect users then show the error message. You know?

So I redirect them to page.php?error=nosearch and then the no search error would show up

Re: $_GET['Array Values']

you are right...
then why don't you use swith case in if loop...
then try like this...

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
if(!empty($_GET['err'])){
	switch($_GET['err']){
		case 'nosearch' : $msg="Your search returned no results - <a href="guide?t=search">Click Here For Search Tips</a> ";
		break;
	.......and so on
	}
}
if(!empty($_GET['err'])){
	switch($_GET['err']){
		case 'nosearch' : $msg="Your search returned no results - <a href="guide?t=search">Click Here For Search Tips</a> ";
		break;
	.......and so on
	}
}

then you have to pass your url like ?err=nosearch [/icode]

Re: $_GET['Array Values']

Hmm...thats not quite as useable as I would hope.

Is there a way to do it how I want to or is it not possible?
