fantastic product so far. I love it, but it makes me feel like an idiot!! [:)]

I'm quite sure this is simple, but an hour of searching got nothing.

my current page is http://www.akmolecular.com/testmenu2.php

On the left if someone clicks a category like "genetics" I want the header of the table to say the category name (Genetics) instead of just saying "Test". If all records are being displayed it should say "All Tests"

My basic thought was
If category doesn't exist print "All test" else print [category]

I tried simpler first not dealing with the if else part and used <?php echo $testsRecord['category'] ?>
and <?php echo $Record['category'] ?>
but only got error

thanks in advance

Hi wizzle

Thanks for posting!

There is likely going to be a better way to do this but for now, try replacing TITLE with this code:

<?php echo @$_GET['category']; ?>

That will display whatever the value of "category" is up in the URL.

That should get the job done but there should also be a way to do it using code from the code generator. If you wanted to attach testmenu2.php to another post, I could take a closer look.

Let me know what you think :).
