The big advantage to posting to the mailing list is you get the benefit of the expertise of several people, rather than the one person you single out via private mail. While your question may seem basic (as do many questions on the list), it does require some PHP experience to answer it effectively. I have no such experience. For other reasons why it's better to keep htdig questions on the mailing list, see http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q1.16 > I'm wondering if I've interpreted the "allow_in_form" attribute setting > correctly. > > Is this how I would pass the name of a style sheet that's stored in php as > $style? > > 1) in the html form: > > <input type="hidden" name="style" value="<?php echo $style; ?>"> > > 2) "allow_in_form" attribute settings: > > allow_in_form: style > > 3) in the htdig template: > > <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" > href="http://www.website.com/css/$(STYLE).css"> This looks to me like correct usage of allow_in_form, but I'm not sure it'll generate correct PHP for you. The htsearch output for the template snippet above would be something like... <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.website.com/css/<?php echo $style; ?>.css"> Is that what you want? Either that or I'm misinterpreting what will happen. If your search form is in fact PHP and not HTML as you say, then I expect the <?php echo $style; ?> will expand to the actual value of the PHP $style variable, before htsearch even sees it, so the actual value of it would get plugged into htsearch's output in place of the $(STYLE) reference. What you don't mention in your e-mail is whether you've actually tried this already to see whether it would do what you want. If you haven't tried it, why not? I can't see how it would break anything to try it just as you specified. If you have tried it, and it failed, it might be useful to know exactly what htsearch did spit out. If htsearch seems to be ignoring your allow_in_form setting, see http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.31 -- Gilles R.
