I know I can do it another way, but this is really a bug compared to the
original implemantation of php3.
If you have a static site, this can cause trouble with this kind of syntax
(seen in phpMyAdmin, file tbl_properties.php3) :
<a href="sql.php3?sql_query=<?php echo urlencode("SELECT * FROM
$table");?>&pos=0&<?php echo $query;?>"> ... </a>
shows with midgard-php :
sql.php3?sql_query=SELECT+%2A+FROM+country&pos=0&<?php echo $query;?>
note: For those who use phpMyAdmin and have an error message "no database
selected" I resolved the problem by putting <?php echo $query;?> at the
start of the arguments :
<a href="sql.php3?<?php echo $query;?>&sql_query=<?php echo
urlencode("SELECT * FROM
$table");?>&pos=0"> ... </a>
