Re: [PHP] Variable Passing
* Brad Brevet [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
This seems to be what I was looking for, but I am curious, will the / be
included in the variable? Will I have to do a stripslashes() command on it?
If you echo out $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] for the URL shown below, it will
give you:
/321
Usually what you do is something like:
$pi = substr($_SERVER['PATH_INFO', 1);
$args = explode('/', $pi);
and then you'll have an array of arguments without the forward slashes.
If you're only expecting a single argument, you can possibly skip that
second step; if you want to limit the number of arguments you'll accept,
you can add a third parameter to the explode() function call.
You should still treat data passed in this way as tainted, just like
data from the query string or a form. Scrub it and validate it before
doing anything with it.
Note: to get a script called 'something' to be parsed as PHP on your
server, you'll need to do the following (assuming you're using Apache):
create a .htaccess file in that directory with the contents:
Files ~ (something)$
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
/Files
This will tell Apache that the file is a PHP script.

You can do that with $_SERVER[PATH_INFO]. If your script
is /something, this variable will be set to /321

Re: [PHP] Variable Passing
What I do to control it only by PHP without using the mod_rewrite for
apache is to use URL with this format:
http://sample.com/script.php/param1/param2/param3
Then, work in the script looking at the variable
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] wich will contain, in this sample:
/script.php/param1/param2/param3
You can explode the uri in an array:
$params = explode('/', substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 1);
I used the substr dunction to remove the first slash.
On the resulting array you will have, by index
[0] = script.php
[1] = param1
[2] = param2
[3] = param3
This works with Apache. I've not tested it on IIS, but suspect that it
will not work on ISS.
Hope this helps you.
Jordi.

I noted in a previous post, you can also do this using
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] (though the first element from exploding will be
the first parameter, and not the script name) -- and, to my
understanding, this *does* work with IIS. (Somebody, correct me if I'm
wrong.)
Another note -- you can still pass a query string with either method --
which can make for some nice behaviour as well.

Try http://www.seochat.com for more details and info. Basically apache will use a thing called the URL rewrite engine (it rewrites URL) to change http://www.website.com/something/321 into probably something like http://www.website.com/index.php?thing=somethingnumber=321. other ways of passing variables by not using URI: cookies session forms...

[PHP] Variable passing through a form
Hi, I currently have a page divided into three areas, two of which are iframes. The user selects a component out of part 1, which decides what is shown in part 2. When something is clicked in part 2 the information updates in the second iframe, or part 3. This is all working fine through $PHP_SELF and target. I am now working in part 3 of my page which has already had variables passed to it from part 2, however when I try to make selections on this page which should update in the same area ($PHP_SELF) I am losing all the variables which were earlier passed. I have tried $REQUEST_URI also which didn't help. example: after coming from part 2 $REQUEST_URI might be test.php?var1=avar5=fvar16=d . If I then select and option on this new form and then send it to itself I lose everything that was originally there (output might then be test.php?newvar=new) The line which executes my form is (currently) form name=tick action=?php echo $REQUEST_URI; ? method=get enctype=multipart/form-data , and as I said $REQUEST_IRI does contain the variables on initial loading. I need to keep these initial variables and add the new (ie test.php?var1=avar5=fvar16=dnewvar=new) Please help!

Previously, Internaut said: Thankx for your reply, would you recommend setting the register_globals to on, would this be safe to do this? It's not any more or less safe than using the $HTTP_POST_VARS or $HTTP_GET_VARS arrays instead, but it could be less typing :-) Note that for the arrays mentioned here to work, track_vars must be on.
