PHP issue

[barcodes]

Hey again everyone.

I am hoping someone can help me figure this out.
I want to make a variable that i can rename manually per page.
I then want to change the url to go here i need it to go based on that variable.
Im more of a coldfusion guy and could do this easily, but I am restricted to doing this with php.

Here is an example of what I would do in CF incase I am unclear above:

Set the Var in the header file
<cfparam name="location" default="home">

Create the link (going to do this with url feeds, but for simplicity ill use an image)
<cfoutput><img src="#location#.jpg"></cfoutput>

Change the tag in, lets say, contact page:
<cfset location="contact" />

Right now in my ghetto way of thinking, I am making an if else with rss urls in php and trying to find a way to call them from each page.

Thanks in advance for any help =D

Im not entirely sure that i understand what you are trying to achieve here.

You could set an hidden input on each page, so a post to the php page would make it clear from what page its comming in $_POST['var'].

You could put a get var in de url ( either www.mysite.com/index.php?var or something similair ).

Only thing you then have to do is filter the desired var and assign its value to a variable in PHP.

From there you can you do your php magic.

U know....

After looking at this post again and reading yours, I realize that I am trying to do too much. It doesn't need to be pulled the way I was trying to do it.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

All you need it to use:

<?php $_GET['var']; ?>

This would get the variable from the url so index.php?var=123 would mean the variable returned would have the value of 123

message me if you are unsure
