Call me old school, but calling the same function with the same argument twice in a row is wasteful. I see this tendency to just call the same thing a lot rather than storing it in a variable and reusing it, and I don&#39;t like it.<br>
<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">$a0 = arg(0);</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">$a1 = arg(1);</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">$path = &quot;$a0/$a1&quot;;</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">drupal_set_message(&#39;stuff&#39; . $path);</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">$variables[&#39;nancy&#39;] = $hook . $path;</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"></div><br>This does not address why you are seeing what you are seeing. Use a debugger like xdebug to see what really is going on there.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I’m
working on a hook_preprocess_page and it seems to be behaving strangely. I
have:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;"> 
drupal_set_message(‘stuff ‘. arg(0) . ‘/’ . arg(1));</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;"> 
$variables[‘nancy’] = $hook . arg(0) . ‘/’ . arg(1);</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In
exactly that order, with no intervening lines.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Displaying
the variable in the page.tpl.php shows “page taxonomy/term” but the
message shows “stuff r/ms” (even if I refresh the page, or clear the
cache). How can this be happening?</span></p>
