RE: [PHP] Re: problem with form values
This is what my form returns with search 'great port': http://domain/file.php4?Parent=1Keyword=\ and this with search 'great port' (no quotas): http://domain/file.php4?Parent=1Keyword=great portName=Province=---Submit=SearchType=text I need to get quotas to the keyword-field, so I can create better search engine. How to do that?

Re: [PHP] Re: problem with form values
i would say do this
urlencode the string (it should use %22 or something for the quote marks)
then un encode on the recieving page
--
one thing you might try is this
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM whatever WHERE';
while ( $quotes = explode('', $Keywords) ) {
$q = 0;
$s = 0;
if ($q *= 2) {
}else {
if ($q == 0) {
$or = ' ';
} else {
$or=' or'
}
$sql = $sql . $or . ' Keywords=/'' . $quotes[$q] . '/ ' ;
$q++;
}
}else{
if ($s == 0) {
$or = '';
} else {
$or=' or';
$s = 0;
while ( $spaces = explode(' ', $quotes[$q] ) {
$sql = $sql . ' Keyword=/''. $spaces[$s] . '/';
$s++
}
}
this is most defnitly wrong in many ways, but i'm not gonna spend another
hour thinking up what's wrong with it and bug hunt. this gives an idea. heh,
you were probably just woundering about urlencode or stripslashes... oh well
just a thought. maybe a pro could step in and say something useful.

RE: [PHP] Re: problem with form values
Heh, we seem to have a bit of a problem with communicating with each other.. :) What I ment with the question is that how can I do something to the string before the form sends information to the next page? So can I somehow modify strings after pressing submit but before next page? Something like onSubmit=blah().

Re: [PHP] Re: problem with form values
PHP Is server side. The form data, until it is submitted is client side. If you need to manipulate the form data before processing it (i.e for validation, etc) you can either build that logic into your processing code, or have the form call an intermediate set of code that does what you need to do, and then passes control to the form processing code. If you really need to work with the data before it is sent back to the server, you need to look at a javascript solution. -Jason - Original Message - From: Niklas Lampén [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: James Holloway [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Php-General [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 3:08 AM Subject: RE: [PHP] Re: problem with form values Heh, we seem to have a bit of a problem with communicating with each other.. :) What I ment with the question is that how can I do something to the string before the form sends information to the next page?
