RE: [PHP] $_GET['sort'] & argument separator
It worked!!! Thanks VERY much. Now if someone could explain to me the difference between urlencode and rawurlencode. In the manual, it states that both are similar (but not the same), urlencode will encode spaces into '+' wherelse rawurlencode does not. Hence, in my below purposes, which should I be using? It would probably be better to pass the actual column names instead of the alias. As for the above comment, I don't believe that I can as I'm actually using the SQL statement to put the alias and getting the alias to be spitted out using mysql_field_result. But I'm open to how to make the code better.. ideas?.. Cheers, Mun Heng, Ow H/M Engineering Western Digital M'sia DID : 03-7870 5168 -Original Message- From: John W.

Re: [PHP] $_GET['sort'] & argument separator
If your table column is named Eval #, you need to use backtick quotes:
`Eval #`

Hi,
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 Title16 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.
I've looked at the php.ini file and tried setting these 2 configs
arg_separator.output string
The separator used in PHP generated URLs to separate arguments.
arg_separator.input string
List of separator(s) used by PHP to parse input URLs into variables.
Note: Every character in this directive is considered as separator!
but it still does not work..
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
Help... Please...
==view_tracker.php==
$l_column_header = nl2br(mysql_field_name($l_results,$k));
echo nl2br(sql_sort_by_header($l_column_header, $l_column_header,
sql_sort_cat, $sql_sort_dir) );
=sql_functions===
function sql_sort_by_header( $p_string, $p_sort_field, $p_sort, $p_dir ) {
if ( $p_sort_field == $p_sort ) {
# we toggle between ASC and DESC if the user clicks the same
sort order
if ( 'ASC' == $p_dir ) {
$p_dir = 'DESC';
} else {
$p_dir = 'ASC';
}
}
echo ''. $p_string .'';
}
=view_set_tracker.php
$_SESSION['sql_sort_cat'] = '';
$_SESSION['sql_sort_dir'] =
$GLOBALS['g_default_sql_sort_dir'];
$_SESSION['sql_sort_cat'] = $_GET['sort'];
if (!empty( $_GET['dir'] ))
{
$sql_sort_dir = $_GET['dir'];
}

What happens if you use a non-breaking html space instead? I.e Eval #
