For years I have used pages to grab the GET info forwarded from AWeber to insert a name or some other information into a web page dynamically. I recently tried to do that with a custom field passed from AWeber and it's not working.

Not sure why.

Here is a typical piece of code I use to grab the name field:

If I set up a custom field (lets say "school" to designate what
school the lead attends) AWeber passes it like this in the GET:

?custom%20school=osu

When I try this code it fails:

This code also fails:

I'm sure this is some simple answer, but I know just enough about PHP to be dangerous.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe it's actually not proper formatting in PHP to have spaces in GET variable. From what I can gather it converts them to '_'.

Try:

if(isset($_GET['custom_school'])) {

$name = $_GET['custom_school'];

}


If that doesn't work, I would suggest changing your aweber variable names to something without spaces.

hope this helps.

You could do a quick test and see what variables Aweber is passign back to you..

At the top of your thankyou page, insert the following PHP code :

echo '<pre>';
print_r($_GET);
echo '</pre>';

This will "dump" all the variablers that Aweber is sending back to you and you can see what to extract..

I hope this helps

Aweber puts the space there, though the space is converted to %20 in the URL. I can't change it. Whatever I name the custom variable (school for example) Aweber precedes it with "custom " so it becomes custom%20school.

$_GET['custom_VARIABLE'];

Worked for me.

Good Luck

Hi Kevin.

RichPirate and blkfin are correct - PHP will replace the "%20" with an underscore "_"

When I requested:

....?test=1&custom%20test=2

...and I dumped $_GET, this is what I get:

Array ( [test] => 1 [custom_test] => 2 )
