Using Autoresponder Get Variables - To preload content

Hello Zack,

Here is the code to add to the thankyou page:
<?=$_GET['name'];?>

Replace name with whatever your optin name code is.

Thanks Dennis

Must the thank you page be in php? or can it be in HTML? Can't seem to get it to show ...

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

Give the page containing the above code a .php extension

Alternatively you can parse PHP in a page with a .html extension by adding the following line to your .htaccess file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

<?php $email = $_GET["email"]; $name = $_GET["name"]; ?>

At the top of your confirmation page (should be .php). Then for their respective input boxes, change the "value" to:

<?php echo $email; ?>

And...

<?php echo $name; ?>

Thanks for taking the time to help

I know I am passing variables correctly as I see this in my url:
www.50blues dot com/tellafriendfreegift.html?email=xxx@gmail.com&name= xxx&ip=xx.xx.xxx.xxx&site=submit

The problem is I don't know where to edit the code in my input boxes

The HTML code for my input boxes are:

<font face="Arial" style="font-size: 10pt; font-style:normal" color="#000000">Your
Name: </font> <input name="member_name" id="member_name">

and

<font face="Arial" style="font-size: 10pt; font-style:normal" color="#000000">
Your Email: </font> <input name="member_email" id="member_email">

What should I change or remove to enter <?php $_GET['name']; ?>

or <?php echo $email; ?> (as what keegahn suggested)

Appreciate any help. I've been pulling out my hair over this for the past couple of nights. Apparently, I suck at PHP :<

"tellafriendfreegift.html" needs to be changed to "tellafriendfreegift.php" and you need the following code at the very top of that page:

<?php $email = $_GET["email"]; $name = $_GET["name"]; ?>

Look at this part of the URL after the form has been submitted: ?email=xxx@gmail.com&name= xxx

The PHP code above (what you'll be placing at the top of your page) "gets" the value of "email" from the URL and sets it as a variable ($email) - same goes for the value of "name" using a different variable ($name).

Now you change the input fields to echo the variables for the "value", like so:

<font face="Arial" style="font-size: 10pt; font-style:normal" color="#000000">Your
Name: </font> <input name="member_name" id="member_name" value="<?php echo $name; ?>">

And...

<font face="Arial" style="font-size: 10pt; font-style:normal" color="#000000">
Your Email: </font> <input name="member_email" id="member_email" value="<?php echo $email; ?>">

This echos (or prints) the contents of the variable, which you defined earlier (to "get" the values from the address)! You place this within the "value" part of the textbox because value = what's in the text box!

If you're looking to learn HTML/PHP I encourage you to spend a lot of time reading up on php.net and w3schools.com - great resources!

Thanks Keegahn. You're a savior
