Need simple PHP fix

I have a PHP page set up that needs what should be a very simple fix. It takes a url in the form http://www/example.com/inxed.php?page=xyz

It's supposed to merge the value xyz into a hidden field in the page. It doesn't, and I'm sure I've done something very simple wrong.

PM me if you can fix this, and let me know what it'll cost.

  Jared was first. But there's backup, just in case.
  
  Jared, you make that work, and I'll cheerfully owe you one. I need that for a "launch" that's due this week, and the guy who did it originally goofed something. Or I did. (More likely me, but I can't get hold of him at this time of day...)
  
  Thanks, folks.

I have a PHP script that was designed for use on php4x

My new webhost has php5 and the script no longer works.

My webhost support fixed one script but the other one (I only have 2) will not work on php5.

The script author wont take any responsibility for it (its a free script, so he dont care)

hi paul

cant you just use this?

<?php
echo $_GET['page'];
?>

or if you want them as hidden variables like you mention you can do this:

<?php
$pagevars=$_GET['page'];
//echo "these are my url grab results: $results";
?>

remove // to test it works...

hope that helps you in the right direction - ill test it myself later today
- Thanks

  Thanks to all for the advice. Jared knocked the bugs out of it so it now works on both servers, and handles the parsing perfectly.
  
  Much appreciated, sir!

  Cool.
  
  I suspect that, when they see what I'm doing, there will be a lot of people who want to use that code.
