SOLVED: added some java to the Page 1 code to read the URL parameters and then modified the Ajax code as follows:
var d = gup( 'd' );
new Ajax.Request('new_respondent_role_video.php?d=' + d,
Thanks to you all for your help.
EDIT:
The new url that a user will click to access the site is as follows:
http://www.xyv.com/ttt/index.php?r=1&d=2010-11-24
This URL contains the d date variable - I need to pass that through the Function so it gets added to the database.
Hope that makes a little more sense?

Hi,
I hope some can help. I have inherited the following code across multiple pages and I have been asked to make some modifications to the code, detailed below but am really struggling.
URL for Page 1
http://www.xyv.com/ttt/index.php?r=1
Page 1
<?php include_once("db.inc.php");
//$i = 2;
$i = $_GET['r'];
if ($i == 1) {
include("_inc/login_script_role_video.php");
echo "<h1>Loading questionnaire please wait.</h1>";
}else if($i == 2){
include("_inc/login_scriptm_role_video.php");
echo "<h1>Loading questionnaire please wait.</h1>";
}else if($i == 3){
include("_inc/login_scriptd_role_video.php");
echo "<h1>Loading questionnaire please wait.</h1>";
}else{
echo "<h1>You have tried to access the survey without a correct id, ",
"please refer to your invitation email.</h1>";
}
//echo $i;
?>

<body onload="startSurvey();">

</html>
This page directs to a login script depending on the r in the URL.
startSurvey code
function startSurvey(){
/* var respondent_id = document.getElementById('respondent_id').value;
if(1==0) { if open survey, use respondent_id.length==0*/
new Ajax.Request('new_respondent_role_video.php',
{
method:'get',
onSuccess: function(transport){
var respondent_id = transport.responseText;
window.location='prog-role-video.php?r=' + respondent_id;
},
onFailure: function(){
Effect.Appear('problem');
}
});
}
Opens another file to add a respondent to the database and then re-direct the user.
New respondent file
<?php
include_once("db.inc.php");
$respondent_id = new_respondent_role_video();
header("Content-type: text/plain");
echo $respondent_id;
?>
Returns the respondent_id to secure access to the site can continue
SQL code
function new_respondent_role_video() {
$d = $_GET['d'];
global $link;
$proc = mysqli_prepare($link, "INSERT INTO trespondent ".
"(code, link, role, course, page, dates) ".
"VALUES (uuid(), 'http://www.1.xyc.co.uk/tmg/prog-role-video.php?r=', ".
"'STAFF', 'story telling', '8', '2010-10-10');");
mysqli_stmt_execute($proc);
$id = mysqli_insert_id($link);
mysqli_stmt_fetch($proc);
mysqli_stmt_close($proc);
mysqli_clean_connection($link);
global $link;
$proc = mysqli_prepare($link, "SELECT code FROM trespondent ".
"WHERE respondent_id = ?");
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($proc, "i", $id);
mysqli_stmt_execute($proc);
mysqli_stmt_bind_result($proc, $code);
mysqli_stmt_fetch($proc);
mysqli_stmt_close($proc);
mysqli_clean_connection($link);
return($code);
}
Adds new user and then returns the ID for that user.
What is needed
I need to add another variable to the url, like so
http://www.xyv.com/ttt/index.php?r=1&d=2010-11-24
I then need to pass that variable d through to the add new user code, so it adds the dates into the dates field of the database, something like this:
$d = $_GET['d'];
$proc = mysqli_prepare($link, "INSERT INTO trespondent_tmg ".
"(code, link, role, course, page, dates) VALUES (uuid(), ".
"'http://www.1.xyz.co.uk/xyz/prog-role-video.php?r=', ".
"'STAFF', 'The role of video in multi-media story telling', '8', '$d');");
No matter where I place the $GET code I cannot get the pages to pass this variable to Function and thus add the d date variable to the database.
Any help, ideas, suggestions welcomed.
Fully appreciate this is not the best/easiest but if someone can help....very much appreciated.
Homer.
