Hi there people,

I would like to pass varioables through the URL, but am completely confused how to do it...

Something like http://www.example.com/events/north/1222222

Where 1222222 would be the value to be passed. By looking around on the forums I think it has somehting to to do with the Menu functions and the items[] array?? Am I in the right ballpark?

Can anybody give quick, simple step-by-step instructions on how to do this?

Would be very grateful.

Cheers

And what a cool system Drupal is!

if you use the function:

arg(2)

eg.
print arg(2);

that will print 1222222
it's split on the / character

so that arg(0) = events
arg(1) = north
and arg(2) = 1222222

Thanks for the reply,

When I do add this URL it is saying no such page available (I have URL Alias on), so it needs to stop looking for a page and take the variable after the / if you know what I mean :os

Cheers

anyone have an answer for this?

i have the same exact problem. its not at all clear what i should be doing.

in my test_page_submit i use one of these two lines

return "doctorsearch/".$form_values['zipsearch'];
or
return "node/18/".$form_values['zipsearch'];

only the bottom one works. i get file not found for doctorsearch/

----------------

how can i send multiple values, do i always have to remember their position for arg()? that's kind of junky. I'm sure there's a way to say var=val&var2=val2 , etc?

can anyone throw a newbie a bone? :)
