[Zope] How to get the variable in an URL ?

[Thomas B. Passin]

[Pascal Samuzeau]

I have a link as :

<a href="http://website/folder/document?variable=try-it">Try</a>

I want to get the variable in my document.

I did REQUEST.form['varibale']. But it doesn't work, of cource, I
haven't a form.

What i the syntax t oget this variable???

If that url is used to request a page from you called "document", then you
will have a REQUEST object available to the page.  It will contain a
property called "variable", just as if a form had been submitted.

You can see the entire REQUEST by writing

<dtml-var REQUEST>

You can display the property like this:

<dtml-var "REQUEST['variable']">

Of course, your spelling has to be correct.
