Post variable not working..

[rogersnm]

Ok, so here's my code:

PHP Code:

    $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
        'id'             => TYPE_STR,  // i have tried TYPE_UNIT
    ));
    
    if ($vbulletin->GPC['id'] AND is_numeric())
    {
        $vbulletin->GPC['id'] = $vbulletin->GPC['id'];
    } else {
        $vbulletin->GPC['id'] = 6;
        echo 'not picked up';
    } 


when i type in: file.php?&id=6 for the adress it doesn't pick up the variable id - 6 - which it should it just sets it as 2 and echo's "not picked up"... Can anybody see what i am doing wrong?

You need to get rid of that echo and turn that into a die(mysql_error(not picked up))

echo will keep showing/repeating instead of actually doing what it should.

I could be wrong tho.

it's not an sql error...

and it doesn't change if i remove it or keep it. It's merely an echo. It shouldn't have any impact at all.

i had the same problem the last hack i built, but i managed to solve it finally. here's my code:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
    'userid'    => TYPE_STR,
    'act'    => TYPE_STR,
));

$vbulletin->GPC['userid'] = intval($vbulletin->GPC['userid']);
$vbulletin->GPC['act'] = intval($vbulletin->GPC['act']); 


and now it should work, i used type_str for the id cause that's the only one that worked...
i hope it will also work for you and you won't have a problem. all you have to do now is the "if" part.

which is i have already done

thanks, i just have to change UNIT to STR

nope, still not picking it up...

hmm, if i take out the if it works.... it seems to be that the else dominates when it shouldn't...

try change
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
to:
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(

(notice the 'p' replaced by the 'r' - i gave it to your in the first post but you didn't notice it)

wohoo, thanks for that no it does work
