GET command impeding factors

Hello,
What circumstances would cause a $_GET command of the url to not work?
I have correct code, which is working on other pages, but will not work on one particular page. The only difference is that the url is a rewrite, not the original.
Please give me your suggestions.

Thanks,

Luke

 

What do you mean not original and it is a rewrite. Example of what you are talking about. Because I know of htaccess rewrite, but that could be something different then what your talking about.

 

Hello,
Yes, I'm talking about htacess rewrite.
I've just resolved the problem using $url = ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
but still the question remains: why didn't my GET command work on this page?

 

What does the htaccess line look like. I don't think your doing it correctly.

 

yep what the rewrite is doin is 'redirecting' the page, but it is not passing the url's query string data to the php page, thereofre your $_GET variables aren't being parsed.

 

Yes, that's exactly what's happening. I don't know why, because my rewrite is correct.
Anyway, I've resolved this using an url basename extract.

Thanks.
