[WEBTEMPLATES HACK:]Share your WebTemplates or WebQueries!

[leitel]

I am building a directory that will connect to vb user table. I am wondering if I can somehow pass a parameter to the webquery to bring up a particular record by pre-setting a variable in your Query PHPInclude Code (Before) section.

For example:

Query:
SELECT name FROM people WHERE id = $nameid ORDER BY name DESC LIMIT 1

PHPInclude:
$nameid = a value i pull off of the address string


I need to dust off my debugger to see what values exist at this point in the runtime. But can someone give me the syntax to pull a parameter value from the URL?

Thanks!

I just tried:

Query:
SELECT name FROM people WHERE id = $nameid ORDER BY name DESC LIMIT 1

PHPInclude:
$nameid = 4

$nameid did not resolve. So I take it that the query can not contain php variables?
