[pmwiki-users] Page variables with markup in them...

[The Editor]

Hi Pm, I just gave the first code string to make sure I had the right
value for GetLog.  And also that I was setting the page variable
{$log} set properly (for debugging).  Both values show up on the page
properly just as expected.  But when I try and set the page variable
to GetLog directly, (code example 2) the page variable suddenly goes
blank in the screen.

It did the same thing when I tried to set it to a value containing a
live url (ie, clickable).  The data value was there stored properly,
but it would not take it as a page variable, though all the other
values on the page showed properly.

I'm pretty sure the problem is not in my code, as all the other data
variables etc., works properly.  And the GetLog value at least looks
correct when I use return to debug it. Here is the GetLog function:

function GetLog($d,$id) {
	global $WorkDir, $data, $log;
	GetPage($d);
	$entry = explode("[[#Log", $log);
	foreach ($entry as $e => $ee) {
		if (substr($ee, 0, 10) == $id) {
			$t = explode(": : ", $ee);
			return $t[1];
			}
		}
	return;
}

It's supposed to take the data storage page ($d), and the log entry
timestamp ($id) to select the right log entry, and then extract and
return the part between the ": :"s.  On the data page there are
usually multiple log entries, each with it's own timestamp id, and
custom edit link.

Thanks for any light you (or anyone) can shed on this.
