this code is supposed to echo "YES" once clicked on it...but it doesnt, can anyone explain it to me..i'm new here...

code:

<a href="test.php?live=yes">Page Status Live =<? if(isset($live)) { echo "Yes";}else{echo "No";}?>

and how does the isset work?

Thanks

I tested the code and it does work.

Remember to include the closing </a> tag and to save the document as a .php document.

Additionally, your server must be php compatible.

if your PHP version has register_globals turned off (as it should by default), then you need to alter it thus:


<a href="test.php?live=yes">Page Status<?php (isset($_GET['live'] && $_GET['live'] == 'yes') ? echo 'Yes' : echo 'No'; ?></a>

<a href="test.php?live=yes">Page Status Live =<?php if(isset($live)) { echo "Yes";} else {echo "No"; }?></a>


This works for me. Is $live a variable that is POSTed or passed through the query string or is it internal?

OK Guys Thanks for the reply and i'll check out with the replied fyrestrtr's code...and i think it should work...cos i see the $_GET there which i wonder why not in my code...

and if pssble fyrestrtr wat rae register_globals...:-(

register_globals is a variable that you find in your PHP configuration file, that is php.ini

You need to have root previlages to edit it, else you might want to contact your hosting company
