Hello. I’m having some trouble accessing some GET variable in my url. They are in the form http://www.domain.com/page/name/?pid=value

I have something in an embed on the page like this:

<?php
$pid = $this->EE->input->get('pid');
echo $pid;
?>

It doesn’t output anything. What am I doing wrong here?

Hi, James. What is it you’re trying to do?

I’m just needing to access the GET variable in the URL to use in my template. I’m using it on input so I can compare it against a value in EE.

Hi James,

Is this from an external site or from another page on your own site? If it’s from your own site you could just structure the link to contain the pid as another segment and then you can access that with the segment_3 variable. If it’s from an external site, you may have to adjust your system/expressionengine/config/config.php uri_protocol setting. Also, are you using mod_rewrite in an .htaccess file for this site?

Cheers

Greg

i figured out another way around it. so for the time being i am ok. not sure why i couldn’t access the GET variables though.

Hi James,

There could be a few factors as Greg suggested. Sounds like you have a solution but let us know if you want to continue troubleshooting. Thanks!

i’m ok for now. thanks.

Okay, thanks James.
