------------------- @_KEYWORDS VARIABLE ------------------- ----------- DESCRIPTION ----------- The @_KEYWORDS variable serves a very similar purpose to that of the %_GET variable. It stores GET data placed after a question mark (?) in the URL. The difference being that @_KEYWORDS ONLY stores a string of keywords with a given field name of "keywords" or all values when there is no field seperation via an equals (=) or an ampersand (&). Because there is always at least one name=value pair when PTM has been installed in Standalone Mode (ptm=index.ptm) the @_KEYWORDS value only applies in Standalone Mode installation if a field named "keywords" is used. This variable was specially set aside as it is often used for search-engine like design. Stores "keywords" GET method postings (?keywords=some+words+here) and also any GET method posts without matching "=value" when there is GET data, but no name=value pairs have been entered. Reminder: When installing in standard Standalone/Emulation mode there is ALWAYS at least one "?PTM_SCRIPT=script.ptm" pair, so solo entry keywords would not exist. This capability may be restored on servers that support Apache mod_rewrite environment variable creation by enabling secure script passing (see $_USE_SECURE_SCRIPT_PASSING) and removing the GET method PTM_SCRIPT variable pass in the default .htaccess file. -------------- USAGE EXAMPLES -------------- ----------------------------------------------- Example 1: Display the First @_KEYWORDS Element ----------------------------------------------- Keyword: -------- SEE ALSO -------- TAGS DISPLAY VARIABLES %_GET, %_SERVER, $_USE_SECURE_SCRIPT_PASSING
