Set textpattern variable in php
I did a bit of digging and found the following:
global $variable
$variable['something']After which one could access a txp variable named something with value something. My question is how do I use a different value to the name?

Re: Set textpattern variable in php
Thanks, wet. Tried your suggestions, but it throws a fatal error at me…
Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(3127) : eval()'d code on line 5Any ideas?

What about:
global $variable;
$variable['something'] = "42";I’m almost sure that one worked for me before.

@maniqui: Ah, misread. Yes, will also give that a try…
Found out that variable( array('name' => 'something', 'value' => 42) ); works, but it is actually a function and not a variable. I added on the $, which then created the Fatal error.

Re: Set textpattern variable in php
variable(array('name' => 'min_wohnflaeche', 'value' => 90));
variable(array('name' => 'max_wohnflaeche', 'value' => 120));
OR
$variable['min_wohnflaeche'] = 90;
$variable['max_wohnflaeche'] = 120;Running into a bit of trouble here. This sets the two txp variables just fine, but almost certainly as strings. Any way to make sure that they are set as integers?

Ofcourse it is a function. All TXP tags are functions. If you want it to be in a string, then put it into string. This sets it (yes, it is a function):
variable(array('name' => 'something', 'value' => 42));And this outputs it:
variable(array('name' => 'something'));
$variable['something'];And we can also put the output results inside a string:
$mystring = variable(array('name' => 'something'));
$mystring = $variable['something'];Running into a bit of trouble here. This sets the two txp variables just fine, but almost certainly as strings. Any way to make sure that they are set as integers?
Show us your code. Note that $variable is a global. And (int), settype(), etc. can be used to turn strings into integers and likewise.

Re: Set textpattern variable in php
Thanks a lot for the reply Gocom, but managed to solve the problem another way: This was for use with smd_query, so setting the db field as INT instead of making sure that the txp variable was an integer made the query go through… phpmyadmin to the rescue…
