pro_php thread: Re: [PHP] Passing string variable to HTML TITLE tag fails withinNetscape but works well within IE.
Thank you, I appreciate the help.I think the following code and information will help to illustrate the
original problem:
Page A:
<html>
file:// basically open proddetails and initialize varibles a,c, and E
<?php if ($userstatus == ""): ?>
<a href="proddetails.php?a=b&c=d&E=Product Details about a product">CLICK THIS</a>
<?php endif; ?>
+++++++
Page B (name: proddetails.php)
<?php
file://this checks to see if variable E is set, if so $title gets the contents of E
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["E"])) {
$title = $HTTP_GET_VARS["E"];
}
?>
<html>
<title> <?php echo $title ?> </title> <!-- this title tag ultimately obtains the contents of variable E from
page A -->
</html>
OUTPUT:
The title tag within Internet Explorer reads: Product Details about <a product>
The problem is:
Netscape on the other hand gives the following error message.
Does anyone have a proven solution to this problem?
