Sure, Rasmus!
But...
I'm using parse_str because file2 in my example is supposed to be
a generic handler for all other scripts on my "site". Offcourse I could
use "1.5 million" $HTTP_GET_VARS for each registered session variable
(as
I wouldn't know what to expect)
The reason I did write to this list - is because there obviously is
something wrong with the way parse_str works and how it is supposed to
work.
Not because I don't know how to get around this "obstacle"
