I'm very newbie to this, so let me explain the issue:
I have a cashback script, the retailer title is stored in the database, my links looking like that:
example.com/view_retailer.php?id=232
I want to change that to /view_retailer?title=retailer-title
I can't figure why its not working, I have on my DB the columns retailer_id, title and retailer_url. Retailer_url is empty.
if (!function_exists('GetRetailerLink')) {
function GetRetailerLink($retailer_id, $retailer_title = "") {
$retailer_id = (int)$retailer_id;
$retailer_link = SITE_URL."view_retailer.php?id=".$retailer_id;
return $retailer_link;
In php page view_retailer:
if (isset($_GET['id']) && is_numeric($_GET['id']))
{
$retailer_id = (int)$_GET['id'];
}
else
{
header ("Location: index.php");
exit();
}
I played already around with the code below but this is not working -> shop not found.
if (!function_exists('GetRetailerLink')) {
function GetRetailerLink($retailer_id, $retailer_title = "") {
$retailer_id = (int)$retailer_id;
$retailer_link = SITE_URL."view_retailer.php?title=".$retailer_title;
return $retailer_link;
and
if (isset($_GET['title']) && is_numeric($_GET['title']))
{
$retailer_title = (int)$_GET['title'];
}
else
{
header ("Location: index.php");
exit();
}
How can I solve this problem? Thanks for helping me!
Thank you for the proposed solutions
I tried it now with
if (!function_exists('GetRetailerLink')) {
function GetRetailerLink($retailer_id, $retailer_title = "") {
$retailer_id = (int)$retailer_id;
$retailer_link = SITE_URL."view_retailer.php?title=".$retailer_title;
return $retailer_link;
and
if (isset($_GET['title']) && is_string($_GET['title']))
{
$retailer_title = (string)$_GET['title'];
}
else
{
header ("Location: index.php");
exit();
}
also tried it with
if (isset($_GET['title']))
{
$retailer_title = (int)$_GET['title'];
}
else
{
header ("Location: index.php");
exit();
}
Unfortunately, that doesn't fix the problem either -> Shop not found.
You will have to remove is_numeric($_GET['title']) in your code.
is_numeric($_GET['title']) will check if the variable is a number or a numeric string.
Perhaps you can try removing is_numeric? Since title is a character string, that will return false always.
if (isset($_GET['title']))
{
$retailer_title = $_GET['title'];
}
else
{
header ("Location: index.php");
exit();
}
Hope this works for you :)
