txp:php to GET variables and pass them as attributes a txp tag

I’m trying to use txp:php to grab a GET variable, like so:
<code><txp:php>echo $_GET[“some_var”];</txp:php></code>

That works fine for writing directly into the html, but what I would like to do is pass that variable to another txp tag, so something like:
<code><txp:some_tag some_att=<txp:php>echo $_GET[“some_var”];</txp:php> /></code>

That didn’t work, and neither does:
<code><txp:some_tag some_att=’<txp:php>echo $_GET[“some_var”];</txp:php>’ /></code>
or
<code><txp:some_tag some_att=”<txp:php>echo $_GET[‘some_var’];</txp:php>” /></code>

Is there a way to do this?

I don’t believe so; parse() will parse php that is contained in the tag’s contents, but not in an attribute.

• Yes:
  • <txp:some_tag><txp:php>echo 'foo';</txp:php></txp:some_tag>
• No:
  • <txp:some_tag att="<txp:php>echo 'foo';</txp:php>" />

Do you have a specific example case?

Thanks a lot Andrew.

The tag that I wanted to pass the attribute to was in a plug-in, so I found a work-around by opening up the plug-in and just GETting the variable from in there. It’s sort of an obvious solution, but I probably wouldn’t have tried it without your explanation, so thanks a lot!
