hello i am trying to print a value from the URL within a page on a WordPress site
i have edited the header.php and entered the following code
<?php
$town = rawurldecode( $_GET['town'] ); ?>
on the page i want to print the value i added
<?php print $town ?>
I have tried a few plugins that ment to allow php in the pages but i get errors
the url looks like this
website.co.uk/page/?town=abc
The results i was trying for was to use the PHP tag when i needed it within the page
for example
Hello i live in <?php print $town ?>, would you like to
come see the football in <?php print $town ?>?.
Did you know that <?php print $town ?> is not that far?
You could always try to use
get_query_var()Like so:
Change
$town = rawurldecode( $_GET['town'] );to
if(isset($_GET['town'])) { $town = rawurldecode( $_GET['town'] ); } else { $town = "No town"; }And change
<?php print $town ?>to
<?php echo $town; ?>Maybe this will work, please let us know the result.
