[PHP] Command line args HELP!!!

2001-07-18 Thread Paul A. Procacci

Hey all,
I tried passing an argument to a php script that had a plus sign (+)
in one of the arguments.  Observe the following:

sciptname
http://altavista.com/sites/search/web?q=task+managementpg=qkl=XX

As it turns out the argument gets split into two seperate arguments, but
I would like to keep it as one argument.  Does anyone know how to
accomplish this.  I posted a bug report to bugs.php.net, and they
responded by telling me to read:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php

But still after searching that page for the information I was looking
for, nothing seemed to work.  Am I missing something.  Please let me
know.

Thanks,
Paul

No, it is one arg q='task management'; the plus is interpreted as a space.
If you want to keep the (+) symbol use web?q=task%2bmanagement ...

also look at urlencode/decode() functions.
