Re: [PHP] Problems with quotes in URL - SOLVED - plz FLAME me!!!
Hi lists ( and all the guys trying to help me) Firstly SORRY, I oversimplified my examples that I posted in the hope that I would get to the solution faster. What i failed to mention in my stupidity, was that I echoed the variable as the value of a form input text field, so I actually messed up the HTML, and I just realized it, and a simple $var = htmlspecialchars($var) does the trick beautifully. Again Sorry guys, I really should have known better than to post stripped down code as the problem is usually a simple thing like this... Just for the by-and-by, my previous claims to having a perfectly working application before upgrading to 4.3.1 was also then a load of bull, and I only realized now that my app had this bug in it all the time! Just goes to show. Anyway, I deserve a good flaming for this one! I'm ready;) On Wed, 2003-06-18 at 14:39, Chris Hayes wrote: (cutted the part about sending a var as get) page.php?my_var=whatever+whatever++%5C%22whatever+whatever%5C%22next_var=blabla ok so here the variable is still complete, including slashes and quotes.

Oh come on now, we don't flame people, or even engage in name-calling for that matter on this list... :) We all learn our lessons. -- Aaron Gould Web Developer Parts Canada -Original Message- From: Petre Agenbag [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 18, 2003 8:49 AM To: Chris Hayes Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Problems with quotes in URL - SOLVED - plz FLAME me!!!

No, I'm all for a public flaming... let him serve as an example to others!! :) In all honesty, I have posted about the htmlentities/htmlspecialchars() requirement when putting data in form inputs quite a lot recently. You should have picked up on it sooner. :) Oh well, though... at least you know now... AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE! ---John Holmes... - Original Message - From: Aaron Gould [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Petre Agenbag' [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Chris Hayes' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 8:59 AM Subject: RE: [PHP] Problems with quotes in URL - SOLVED - plz FLAME me!!!
