[PHP] POST Format
This is not entirely a PHP question I should know the answer, but ... I'm trying to figure out how to correct the proper format for simulating the data sent in a POST. I believe the basic syntax is name1=value1name2=value2 ... Is this correct? If so, how are the value's encoded? Is each value surrounded by ? Do I need to urlencode() each value (without the surrounding )? Any help appreciated. -- JR -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] POST Format
No you can do Index.php?name=apokalyptik[EMAIL PROTECTED]subscribe=n o ?php echo 'pre'; echo 'NAME: '.$name.chr(10); echo 'EMAIL:'.$email.chr(10); echo 'SUBSCRIBE:'.$subscribe; echo '/pre'; ? -Original Message- From: Jonathan Rosenberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 7:58 PM To: PHP General Subject: [PHP] POST Format This is not entirely a PHP question I should know the answer, but ...

Re: [PHP] POST Format
I'm trying to figure out how to correct the proper format for simulating the data sent in a POST. I believe the basic syntax is ?name1=value1name2=value2 ... Is this correct? That is correct for GET information, but not for POST. POST is not passed through the QUERY_STRING like GET is. If you _really_ want to mimick POST (it doesn't sound like you do) then consider: Using PHP, how do I send a http POST without using a form? -- http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/12039/fid/51 If so, how are the value's encoded? Is each value surrounded by ? Do I need to urlencode() each value (without the surrounding )? I you plan to pass non-url friendly values through the URL, then using urlencode() is a good idea. For example: $words = Cheese is good; echo 'a href=yep.php?motto='. urlencode($words) .'hi/a'; Which essentially makes: yep.php?motto=Cheese+is+good More information on what urlencode exactly does and related information (like for htmlentities), see the manual entry: http://www.php.net/urlencode Regards, Philip Olson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
