[PHP] urlencode - urldecode
Hi, I am using a header(location:) to send a rawurlencod'ed string to another script...then I tried decode it and use those values...but its not working... snippets of my code: // sending file: $one=rawurlencode(dir_name=$dir_nameimgs_dir=$imgs_dirthumb_pre=$thumb_pretn_width=$tn_widthtn_height=$tn_heightwrite_text=$write_textcolors=$colorsx_pos=$x_posy_pos=$y_poslink1=$link1link2=$link2link3=$link3img_src1=$img_src1img_src2=$img_src2); header(location: process.php?a=.$one); Am totally confused as to how to use urldecode to get back my values to do other operations in my script.. I tried the example from php.net: (example 1) http://se2.php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php but am unable to adapt it to give me my variables/values. The reason I am using rawurlencode is because $link1 and $link2 will contain html tags...

You don't have to decode it on the other end. Everything as you've got above (that whole string) will be in $_GET['a'] on process.php. Since you asked, though, you use urldecode() like this: $decoded = urldecode($_GET['a']); That's a lot of information to be sending through the URL, btw. I think there's a max of 1024 characters, generally, although each browser is different. Just something to note. Maybe sessions would be better? -- John Holmes php|architect - The magazine for PHP professionals - http://www.phparch.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi, Thanks again John, point taken...will not trust the browser, will use sessions :-) Cheers, -Mag --- John Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: PHP Gen wrote: // sending file: $one=rawurlencode(dir_name=$dir_nameimgs_dir=$imgs_dirthumb_pre=$thumb_pretn_width=$tn_widthtn_height=$tn_heightwrite_text=$write_textcolors=$colorsx_pos=$x_posy_pos=$y_poslink1=$link1link2=$link2link3=$link3img_src1=$img_src1img_src2=$img_src2); header(location: process.php?a=.$one); Am totally confused as to how to use urldecode to get back my values to do other operations in my script..
