Manialinks

Hi all, I have asked this before, but I would like to know how to use PHP with manialinks.
I'm not a PHP pro, but I know enough to upload files, send emails, get info from forms etc in HTML.
I have been having trouble getting my brain around using it in manialinks though. There doesnt seem to be a attribute to get the information from the <entry> tag in manialinks. Would someone be able to give me a small example of getting some information from a user using a button, <entry>, and PHP?
This is what I've managed to get so far:
Code: Select all
<?php
$name = "danodude";
?>
<manialink version="1">
<frame posn="0 0 0">
<quad posn="0 0 0" sizen="100 40" style="Bgs1InRace" substyle="BgWindow3"/>
<label posn="0 0 1" scale="1" text="<?php echo $name; ?>"/>
<entry posn="0 -4 1" sizen="60 20" name="entry1" default="Enter your name"/>
<label posn="0 -30 1" style="CardButtonMedium" text="Apply" manialink="http://localhost/ManialinkPreviewer/test.php"/>
</frame>
</manialink>
Thanks!

You can add the ?name=entry1 in the url like this :
Code: Select all
<?php
$name = "danodude";
?>
<manialink version="1">
<frame posn="0 0 0">
<quad posn="0 0 0" sizen="100 40" style="Bgs1InRace" substyle="BgWindow3"/>
<label posn="0 0 1" scale="1" text="<?php echo $name; ?>"/>
<entry posn="0 -4 1" sizen="60 20" name="entry1" default="Enter your name"/>
<label posn="0 -30 1" style="CardButtonMedium" text="Apply" manialink="http://localhost/ManialinkPreviewer/test.php?name=entry1"/>
</frame>
</manialink>

And that sends the info to the php script, right?
Thanks

Ok I've gotten this, but theres an error somewhere, would you be able to point it out?
This is the main page:
Code: Select all
<?php
$name = "danodude";
?>
<manialink version="1">
<frame posn="0 0 0">
<quad posn="0 0 0" sizen="100 40" style="Bgs1InRace" substyle="BgWindow3"/>
<label posn="0 0 1" scale="1" text="<?php echo $name; ?>"/>
<entry posn="0 -4 1" sizen="60 20" name="entry1" default="Enter your name"/>
<label posn="0 -30 1" style="CardButtonMedium" text="Apply" manialink="http://localhost/ManialinkPreviewer/script.php?name=entry1"/>
</frame>
</manialink>
This is the handling script:
Code: Select all
<?php
$value = $_GET['entry1'];
?>
<manialink version="1">
<frame posn="0 0 0">
<quad posn="0 0 0" sizen="100 40" style="Bgs1InRace" substyle="BgWindow3"/>
<label posn="0 0 1" scale="1" text="<?php echo $value; ?>"/>
</frame>
</manialink>
I can't see anything wrong, but there must be something
Thanks!

Uhmmmm...
I have another problem lol.
This is an invalid manialink file? It works if I replace
with
Code: Select all
<?php
$value = $_GET['name'];
?>
<manialink version="1">
<frame posn="0 0 0">
<quad posn="0 0 0" sizen="100 40" style="Bgs1InRace" substyle="BgWindow3"/>
<label posn="0 0 1" scale="1" text="<?php echo $value; ?>"/>
<entry posn="0 -4 1" sizen="60 20" name="entry1" default="Enter your name"/>
<label posn="0 -30 1" style="CardButtonMedium" text="Apply" manialink="http://localhost/ManialinkPreviewer/test.php?name=entry1"/>
</frame>
</manialink>
Thanks for all the help!

Which PHP version?
If 5.3, it's maybe when you haven't a value in the $_GET['name'].
