In the Before Initialize event of a page I am adding a parameter to the URL that tells which season is currently in use. This works perfectly on my local machine but in production, the parameter value always reverts to 1. I am putting the value in a variable called $current_season.
Here is the code:
global $FileName;
if (CCGetFromGet("s_season_id","") == "") {
header("Location: " . $FileName."?". CCAddParam(CCGetQueryString("QueryString", ""), "s_season_id", $current_season) );
CCSetSession("season",$current_season);
}
The resulting URL always ends in default.php?s_season_id=1 no matter what the value of $current_season is.
Could it be a setting in the PHPINI file relating to Global Variables?
Any light shed on this would be great!
Thanks,
Trevor

Look at how and where you're defining $current_season. Looks like it's
being defined as an integer. So, if there's any text value for the
variable, then it'll always be '1', or true.
When you define $current_season, define it as text (or var).
var $current_season;
$current_season = "Winter";

You can see how the variable is defined via:
echo gettype($current_season); exit;

Thanks for the reply datadoit.
I am getting the variable from the database table that holds the seasons and it is the primary key ID which is an integer and it is an autoincrement key.
As I said, it works perfectly on my server but not on the production server so I tend to think that it is a PHP setting or something?????
Really has me stumped!

In the section where you set $current_season, is it defined as Global there?
global $current_season;
And then in your reference section, do the same at the top of your routine:
global $current_season;
Recommendation: register_globals should be off in both locations (local
development and production servers). Many one-size-fits-all hosting
providers like to leave it on for backwards compatibility. You should
be able to turn it off for your individual account.

datadoit, I have found the hassle which you will not believe. I am using opera and have the link in the speed dial and had forced the parameter during testing. I am so embarrassed!
Sorry to waste your time. !!!!!!
