I'm editing a website made form another programmer, i see he uses short php tags
<? instead of <?php
or
<?= instead of <?php echo
is there any way to assign $_GET variabiles in a short way?
I see he is using $id instead of $_GET['$id']
i'm changing domain on his website from www.mydomain.com to www.yourdomain.com/folder
The problem brons in this circumstance, in a page with this address:
www.yourdomain.com/folder/foto.php?id=http://www.yourdomain.com/folder/img/imagename.jpg
He retrives the id variable in this way:
foto.php:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta content="">
<style></style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="Black">
<?
session_start();
include "config.php";
$id=strip_tags($id);
?>
<table align="center"><tr><td>
<img src="<?=$id?>" align="left" border="0">
</td></tr></table>
</body>
</html>
config.php:
<?
$db_host = "??.??.??.??";
$db_user = "??????";
$db_password = "?????";
$db_name = "?????";
//db connect
$conn = @mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_password)
or die
("connection error");
$db = @mysql_select_db($db_name,$conn);
?>
But it only works on the old domain, in the new domain it cannot retrive the $id variable!
I know that if i change $id with $_GET['$id'] the problem is solved, but i can't figure out how it can work in the old domain!
Old Domain = PHP 4.4.9
New Domain = PHP 5.3.28
