php-xml-flash-URL problem

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 04.2005

Hi,

Could someone please help me solve this issue?

I am trying to pass a variable from the URL into a script that will generate XML for a flash player to display images.

It appears to work the variable is passed through the URL:

eg [url]www.mmyywebsite.com/viewproject.php?client_name=ollie[/url]

it is retrieved using $client_name = $_GET[‘client_name’];

but when I try to insert it into the code to generate the XML it will not work:

<pic>

<image>clients/”.$client_name”./7.jpg</image>

<caption>Project One</caption>

</pic>

(this is partial XML, it does work but only when hard coded)

what am I doing wrong?

thank you

Ollie

Yes, it outputs the variable just as I want it, even the XML output looks fine if I echo that to the browser and view source, yet for some reason I cannot view any images when it is done this way

thanks

The images are going to a flash player as seen at

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm

the xml file is:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes'?>

<images>

<pic>

<caption>Structure</caption>

</images>

hope this helps shed some light on the problem
