RE: [PHP] Re: & in Query String
Not, this answer makes sense. I couldn't see how using '&' in the query string would work. I'm gonna take the advice & augment my error message to include browser name & other info. I've been wondering if a web crawler might be causing this. I'll let you know what turns up (of course, the problem will stop occurring once I add this info :-). -- JR > -Original Message- > From: Erwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 10:54 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] Re: & in Query String > > > Derick Rethans wrote: > > Jonathan Rosenberg wrote: > >> I have a page with thumbnail pictures that can be clicked on to see > >> a larger picture.

I tried it & it fails. The browser sends the query string with the & & the $_GET access fails. I am using IE 6.

RE: [PHP] Re: & in Query String
Ok ... I take back what I said about & not working in a query string. It works just fine. But, none of this explains why I am sometimes receiving a request with & in the query string, especially I am using '&' in the link. The only way I think I can find out is by augmenting the error message I received, as described earlier.

RE: [PHP] Shopping Cart Credit Card Verification
The solution you choose for credit card verification depends on a number of things: - how much control you want over look & feel - whether you are rolling your own shopping cart I happen to use Authorize.Net, which allows you to control the entire process & maintain the look & feel you desire: http://www.authorize.net/ But there are lots of other solutions.

RE: [PHP] Creating SSL Connection to Accept Credit Cards
I thought that using fopen to create an SSL connection was not yet supported
in PHP.
I would suggest the CURL functions for this.

RE: Re: [PHP] Creating SSL Connection to Accept Credit Cards
Do you have telnet access to the server? If so, you could download the
standalone CURL program & invoke it via the
exec() function call.

RE: [PHP] Why $ on variable names?

...

But the language could still support variable evaluation within strings
without requiring the '$' to always appear in front of a variable name.
So, a '$' within a string would mean "treat the following identifier as a
variable to be evaluated". I believe that this introduces no
inconsistencies & removes the ugly $s that litter PHP programs.

I guess this could be true. But I don't understand why someone would need an "easy" way to identify variables? Why not an easy way to identify function names? Or constants?

Lots of other popular interpreted languages managed to get by without the need for something unique to identify a variable name: LISP, TCL, JavaScript, Visual Basic. During parsing an interpreter or compiler will know when it might see a variable (or constant, which can be stored in the same hash table). Look at the syntax for any language.
