php in form help.
Hello all.
This might be complicated to explain…bear with me.
In an article form…
I’m trying to compare the value of ?c= as passed in a url (ex.www.mysite.com/?c=sample) with the <txp:category1 /> and then echo some text if they are equal.
I’m trying this with no luck.
<txp:asy_wondertag>
<txp:php>global $c; if ($c == "<txp:category1 />")
{echo 'current';}</txp:asy_wondertag></txp:php>
When I echo $c and output <txp:category1 /> they are the same, but for some reason the above code doesn’t produce anything.
Any ideas? thoughts on trouble shooting?
I’m trying to make a javascript expanding menu, but I want the current state to get passed from page to page.
I can make the menu work fine, but can’t seem to find a way (other than what I’m trying) to keep the menu open from page to page.
Thanks — hope that wasn’t too painful to decipher

Re: php in form help.
Your nesting with your php tags looks out of step? with wondertag, I might question how wondertag would work in any case with the php tags. You might try
parse(“<txp:category1 />”);
instead, it shoud return the current category 1 value in an article form.

<txp:php>
global $c;
if ($c == category1(array())) echo 'current';
</txp:php>Offline

Doh!
Ruud,
Thanks a million! That worked perfectly.
Once I do a little more testing, I’m going to post this technique to the forum.
It’s pretty sweet.
Cheers Guys!
