Re: [PHP-DB] query string
To answer your question, you should urlencode() the team name. However, I would store the user in a cookie or session, and fetch the team name on each page load. Otherwise, they can easily change which team they're using. Ian Fingold wrote: Sorry I don't think I explained very well... heres my situation... I have a mysql database set up...

What I want to do is, depending on who is logged in, I want my link to change the value of 'team' to the logged in members team name, like wise for the week. For example.. if "gorno" is logged in and his team is called "fun team" the link will reflect his team and look like this... fant_stnd3.php?week=1&team=fun team or if say...

Well if you are getting those values from a URL, $week and $team variables in your php script should have the values in them.. In later versions of PHP, they will be _POST['week'] and _POST['team'] or _GET['week'] or _GET['team'] depending on which method is used.. You don't need to parse the URL and run them through an array.. :) Gurhan -- The above message is encrypted with double rot13 encoding.

Are we getting team name from a select list ? If so change the values returned. Are the team names typed in ? If so use javascript to replace spaces with underscores. Can you work along those lines ?

I can't say anything, unless i know where and how it is being cut off.. From that scenario you said.. You should probably query the week name and team name from the database and then redirect the browser to the location.. so something like.. $query= "select weekname, teamname from tablename where username=".($username)." limit 1"; $result=mysql_query($query); $row=mysql_fetch_array($result)" header( "Location: http://servername/fant_stnd3.php?";.($row["weekname"])."&team=".($row["teamname"]).""); Of course, you will need to replace servername, tablename and column names with appropriate values..

Well if you are getting those values from a URL, $week and $team variables in your php script should have the values in them.. In later versions of PHP, they will be _POST['week'] and _POST['team'] or _GET['week'] or _GET['team'] depending on which method is used..
