Question about root php

Contributors Thanked: 10 times	Can anybody tell me where $m stands for ? It always goes to the default anyway.. switch($m) { default: require_once(......inc.php'); break; } Found it, it comes from the GET $m = sed_import('m','G','ALP',24); $n = sed_import('n','G','ALP',24); $a = sed_import('a','G','ALP',24); $b = sed_import('b','G','ALP',24); BUT what meaning does m,n,a,b has... (What is usually done with these vars) ?? ==- I say: Keep it EZ -==

Can anybody tell me where $m stands for ?

It always goes to the default anyway..

switch($m)
	{
	default:
	require_once(......inc.php');
	break;
	}

Found it, it comes from the GET

$m = sed_import('m','G','ALP',24);
$n = sed_import('n','G','ALP',24);
$a = sed_import('a','G','ALP',24);
$b = sed_import('b','G','ALP',24);

BUT what meaning does m,n,a,b has... (What is usually done with these vars) ??

==- I say: Keep it EZ -==

Administrators Thanked: 263 times	Well, I suppose $m stands for mode or maybe module. It is used by those switches to detect which mode of the script to use. $n is like $m, but is more generic. In forums it is used to specify special paging modes (or numbers): n=last means go to the last page available. $a means action. For example 'update', 'send', 'add', etc. $b is the next latter after $a, isn't it? So it is similar, but more generic. May the Source be with you!

Contributors Thanked: 10 times	Ok, so there is no real real meaning..., but they are vars wich i can use for almost anything.. It is read default by common.php from the GET.. (nice, so I can use those) Thanks ==- I say: Keep it EZ -==

Administrators Thanked: 263 times	Be careful with $m and $a, they are used in many scripts and plugins, so make sure there are no conflicts if you use them. May the Source be with you!
