[Plugin: Mindvalley Post & Get Variables] How to handle space in a variable?

    I’m using this plugin to pass aweber form data back to echo on a blog post. One-word variables like “email” post just fine. I can’t apparently use “name” so set up a custom variable in aweber called “first”… problem is aweber turns it into “custom first” – two words.

    So when I add the shortcodes it looks like

    [get_var name="custom first"]

    I’ve tried replacing the space with a %20, with a   and nothing works. Any ideas how to get around this?

    Hi Matthew,

    Sorry for the late reply.

    The reason your code is not working is because PHP automatically replaces spaces to underscores when creating the $_GET or $_POST variable array keys.

    So instead of [get_var name=”custom first”] try [get_var name=”custom_first”].

    I’ve also made some updates to the plugin to automatically convert spaces to underscores @ version 1.0.6 … Thanks to your feedback 🙂

    Let me know if you still have any problems.
