Getting parameters from URL

Hello,

I have this situation, I need a printer friendly page, so when I click on Print page I will pass in the URL a param, that I would pick up in the destination page:

The destination URL is the following:

http://www.cocinandocontiaflorita.tv/receta_pescado_marisco/pescado-a-la-peperonata?imprimir=si

On the destination page I have the following code:

<txp:php>
global $HTTP_POST_VARS;
$imprimir = $HTTP_POST_VARS[“imprimir”];

variable( array(‘name’ => ‘imprimir’, ‘value’ => $imprimir) );
echo “imprimir is $imprimir”;
</txp:php>

Then I would use:

<txp:if_variable name=“imprimir” value=“si”>

to change the front ent to make it friendly.

My problem is that $imprimri is always empty, I cant seem to get the imprimir=si from the URL.

Any suggestions? I would really apreciate it.

Re: Getting parameters from URL

You are better with gps().

<txp:variable name="imprimir" value='<txp:php> echo gps("imprimir"); </txp:php>' />

Or, for example, with rah_function:

<txp:variable name="imprimir" value='<txp:rah_function call="gps" get="imprimir" />' />

Or you could take a look at the adi_gps plugin. It does exactly what you want without resorting to PHP code; it assigns the contents of all URL params (or any named vars if you prefer) to txp:variables so you can use them in your pages. Hope that helps.
