Hi,

I’m getting the following error message:

Notice: Use of undefined constant cssid - assumed ‘cssid’ in mysite.com/system/core/core.functions.php(637) : eval()‘d code on line 9

The code (template) works like this:

<?php
 .....
 define("CSSID", $_GET[cssid], true); <-------- LINE CAUSING THE PROBLEM
 .....
?>
{EE-HTML}
 ....
 [tags getting data from external DB using PHP above]
 [/tags]
 ....
{/EE-HTML}
<?php
 .....
 .....
?> 

Actually everything works great. The data is extracted from the external DB and my special tags are looping through it and filters on the keyword. The problem is that this error line is showing up at the top of the page.

the URL looks like this:
http://www.mysite.com/index.php/template?cssid=1&csskeyword=keyword

I am running the latest version of EE, build 20080319

Any suggestions on how to make it disappear?

Thanks,
Santo

If you print the get array before defining your constant- does it still error? And does it have to be a constant- does it work with


$cssid = (isset($_GET['cssid'])) ? $_GET['cssid'] : '';

I just love this forum!

Thanks allot! I got it to work like this:

$cssid = (isset($_GET['cssid'])) ? $_GET['cssid'] : ''; 
 define("CSSID", $cssid, true); 

Thanks,
Santo

Woot! Just glad it’s working. (I did run into some funkiness when I was playing with it as well. Not totally sure what was up.)
