I wrote a simpe PHP script and have been trying to return the results in WordPress shortcodes, but I can't seem to get it to work. Here is what I have:
CODE function securetotal() { return $secure_total; } add_shortcode('secure', 'securetotal'); $secure_total is the predefined variable that I need to be displayed. I can display simple text instead of the variable, but the variable is not transferring any results. Am I missing something? Any ideas? BTW, I did post this on the Wordpress forum, but didn't get any replies, so I'm hoping someone here can shed light on it. Help is much appreciated. |

But... securetotal() will generally return NULL, since $secure_total is not defined, and not global. Perhaps you need to make it global? Where's the manual for add_shortcode()? I presume this is Wordpress...? Please give a link or copy the function description. But currently the arguments are just two strings 'secure' and 'securetotal', with no obvious connection to the rest of the fragment. |
