Hi,[snip]
I have this problem, which could easily be solved through a name change but I would like to learn more.
There's a table set up from a MySQL query like this
row1) Eval # Title # Heads My Findings row2) P1000 Title1 6 This is my findings row3) P1223 Eg 2 3 2nd findings
row1 is the header columns, the title names are derived from sql statement executed as SELECT eval_no as "Eval #" etc..
row1 is also set up such that if the user clicks the link, it will trigger a SQL comand to sort it.
The problem here is the '#' sign/key. spaces are no problem. the $_GET['sort'] is not able to get the whole field, as such "Eval #" can only be recognised as "Eval" and thus sql is not able to sort it.
This is how the link looks like http://10.0.0.1/trackit/trackit-2003-07-28/view_set_tracker.php?sort=Eval%20 #&dir=ASC
The string with the # character needs to be run through urlencode() or rawurlencode(). The # character is making your browser look for a bookmark named "&dir=ASC" on the view_set_tracker.php page.
It would probably be better to pass the actual column names instead of the alias.
