URL Parameters to Autofill Form

[Blasteh]

Hi,
I’ve been looking around on the web, but I can’t seem to find out how to do it. I’m looking to do something like example.org/ref/Blasteh, then when they visit that, it’d fill out the “referrer” option in the form. Essentially the base URL is something like example.com/register?reg_ref=Blasteh, but with the URL rewrite it’s as stated above. My issue is that when I do the parameters, it doesn’t want to seem to fill out that part of the form.

<input type="text" name="reg_ref" id="ref" value="Referrer"/></td>
</tr>

<input type="text" name="reg_ref" id="ref" value="Referrer" value="<?=$_GET['reg_ref']?>" />

You need to set the "value" attribute, which will set the initial value of the input field.

JavaScript equivalent:

document.querySelector('#ref').defaultValue = 'Sentinel';

Please provide the code you are currently using in full. A form doesn't get filled out magically, so I assume you have some PHP or JavaScript already?

Tried this, didn't seem to work.

<form method="post">      
                <div class="msg regi">Ref</div>
                <input type="text" name="reg_ref" id="ref" value="<?php $_GET['reg_ref']?>" /><br/><center>
            </form>

            </form>

Can try jQuery aswell,

$('#ref').attr('value', '<?= $_GET['reg_ref'];?>');

Put this into your document.ready.

Ofc it doesn't work you forgot to include echo before the array..
I'm using the shorthand PHP syntax.
Just do exactly what I wrote and it'll work

value="<?=$_GET['reg_ref']?>"

You basically just converted my JS equivalent to JQuery....

That's what I did at first, it still didn't work m8.

Did you add a rewrite rule so that ?reg_ref=Blasteh is accepted as /register/Blasteh?

That's not setup, I'm using it without the URL rewrite at the moment.

@Sentinel already provided the answer. <?php $_GET['var'] ?> doesn't echo anything. Either make it the shorthand <?= $_GET['var'] ?> or <?php echo $_GET['var']; ?>

Programmatically it should work, so I don't know what you're doing wrong tbh.

After speaking with Blasteh it appears the $_GET variable is not being set at all thus why it's not echoing anything. If I remember correctly, this was a problem with RevCMS and how it functioned.

Alex fixed our $_GET variable after you providing a fix and it now works without rewriting.

No wonder there's problems if he's using Rev

Also, never knew RevCMS looked like this

Issue has been solved.

Yeah, next time I'll give a warning for this. Actions such as these pull away proper content and solutions from the forum.

Also, moved to Habbo Help & Support. If it's Rev, it belongs there.
