CiscoIPPhoneExecute: transfer variable, syntax error?

[jrachut]

hi forum,

i have a little problem with variables! i want to push a message to the ip phone with a little vbscript:

<% @language = VBScript %>

<% Option Explicit

dim mssg

mssg = "hallo"

%>

html...

<TEXTAREA NAME="XML" Rows="5" Cols="60">

<CiscoIPPhoneExecute>

<ExecuteItem Priority="0" URL="http://192.168.251.247/ASP/CallerID/auto-push/auto_testseite4.asp?test=" & mssg & ""/>

</CiscoIPPhoneExecute>

</TEXTAREA>

html...

but the variable "& mssg &" forces error message 1, compile error! if i realize this static:

<ExecuteItem Priority="0" URL="http://192.168.251.247/ASP/CallerID/auto-push/auto_testseite4.asp?test=hallo"/>

it works fine! i think, i have a syntax-error! could anyone point me in the wright direction?

thx jochen

ok guys,

this will work:

... .asp?nummer=<%=ID%>"/>

note: this tag don't accept spaces!

[jrachut]

next problem!

i want to transfer more than one variable! how could i accomplish this? i tried something like this:

dim ID, myname

... .asp?nummer=<%=ID%>+name=<%=myname%>

but "name" is also displayed on the phone! has anyone an idea?

For the first issue, as you noted its a syntax problem. In this line:

http://192.168.251.247/ASP/CallerID/auto-push/auto_testseite4.asp?test=" & mssg & ""/>

Changing the snippet

test=" & mssg & ""/>

to

test=<%=mssg %>"/>

solves the problem. The problem is that you are trying to use vbscript syntax (the & concatenation operator) in the output area (should enclose it in <% %> tags, in this case using the <%= tag since you want to output the contents of a variable)

In your second example, you are using the + symbol where you should be using the & symbol to indicate the addition of a second parameter.

In your example:

... .asp?nummer=<%=ID%>+name=<%=myname%>

try changing it to

... .asp?nummer=<%=ID%>&name=<%=myname%>

Note that you have to escape the ampersand '&' character as required by XML. Where I used the & symbol above, use the ampersand escape sequence (ampersand followed by the word amp followed by a semicolon). I can't show that here because the forum keeps interpreting it and just showing the ampersand. Just add the string amp; after the & symbol.

Hope that helps!
