Finding the forumid from a getnew search string

[Mark.B]

That's really odd....

Mine is like this:

PHP Code:

    $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
        'days'       => TYPE_UINT,
        'exclude'    => TYPE_NOHTML,
        'include'    => TYPE_NOHTML,
        'showposts'  => TYPE_BOOL,
        'oldmethod'  => TYPE_BOOL,
        'sortby'     => TYPE_NOHTML,
        'noannounce' => TYPE_BOOL,
    )); 


But even if I add the line in, I still get nothing.

I am not sure I am hooking this into the right area of the file. As a test I have tried simply setting a simple variable, eg $test= 3; by hacking it into that area of the file, and it does not spit out if you put $test in the template. So that might be my problem, am I looking in the wrong area? I am right after

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'getnew' OR $_REQUEST['do'] == 'getdaily') 


and I'm thinking, if setting a simple variable THERE will not echo out on a getnew search, then is this something to do with the URL string changing to a search ID when the search is displayed?

Am I making any sense?
