[PHP] REPOST: converting multiple URL values for the same variable into an array
I posted this late on Sunday afternoon, so it may have been overlooked.
I haven't figured it out yet, so I'm reposting in the hopes someone can
help. Thanks.
---
I'm modifying some code for ampache (ampache.kveton.com) and have run
into a snag that I'm not sure I understand completely.
Part of the code produces a URL similar to the following:
http://myhost/playlist.pls?song=100&song=101&song=102
and $song then gets passed to this function:
function get_song_path_from_id ( $song ) {
GLOBAL $dbh, $db_name;
$songs = '';
$count = 0;
if ( is_array( $song ) ) {
while ( list($k,$v) = each($song) ) {
//does some cool stuff
}
}
else {
//does some other stuff
}
return ($songs);
}
So, am I correct in assuming that $song will never be considered an
array? (basically, given the above code and URL, $song will always equal
102)
I'm new to PHP, and since I didn't write the original code, I'm not sure
if this is a bug, or something that I just don't fully understand.
Assuming it is a bug, can anyone offer some suggestions on how to take
the URL and parse it out and input the values into an array called
$song?
(get_song_path_from_id() is used by several other parts of the code, so
any modifications to that code would need to leave the rest of the
functionality
intact)
Thanks.

P.S. If anyone is looking for a simple, easy-to-use (and set up) mp3
manager, I highly recommend ampache. It doesn't have a bunch of bells &
whistles (which I don't want) -- it simply provides a simple, effective
way to manage playlists and play your mp3 songs from anywhere.

Hi Kurt, > So, am I correct in assuming that $song will never be considered an > array?

However, I've never seen a PHP file called .pls, it may be something else. Java Servlets for example will allow you to overload variables like that on a URL line and will indeed produce an array. I could be wrong, though.

If PHP won't overload them to an array, you could parse $QUERY_STRING manually. -Original Message- From: Jason Murray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 11:06 PM To: 'Kurt Lieber'; 'PHP General List (E-mail)' Subject: RE: [PHP] REPOST: converting multiple URL values for the same variable into an array Hi Kurt, > So, am I correct in assuming that $song will never be considered an > array?

Sorry -- I should have clarified that .pls has been added as a php file type in httpd.conf. -Original Message- From: Jason Murray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 8:06 PM To: 'Kurt Lieber'; 'PHP General List (E-mail)' Subject: RE: [PHP] REPOST: converting multiple URL values for the same variable into an array Hi Kurt, > So, am I correct in assuming that $song will never be considered an > array?

Re: [PHP] REPOST: converting multiple URL values for the same variable into an array
Kurt,
You might have some luck with adding [], I seem
to remember that making arrays for form posts,
so it might do gets too...
http://myhost/playlist.pls?song[]=100&song[]=101&song[]=102
and if you always end up with an array using [],
you might change the condition to
count($song) > 1 or something for:
> if ( is_array( $song ) ) {
> else {
> }
Good Luck
-Garth
