Re: [PHP] REPOST: converting multiple URL values for the same variable into an array
Kurt, You might have some luck with adding [], I seem to remember that making arrays for form posts, so it might do gets too... http://myhost/playlist.pls?song[]=100song[]=101song[]=102 and if you always end up with an array using [], you might change the condition to count($song) 1 or something for: if ( is_array( $song ) ) { else { } Good Luck -Garth --- http://www.northern.ca On Mon, 16 Jul 2001 20:03:50 -0700 Kurt Lieber wrote: I posted this late on Sunday afternoon, so it may have been overlooked. I haven't figured it out yet, so I'm reposting in the hopes someone can help. Thanks. --- I'm modifying some code for ampache (ampache.kveton.com) and have run into a snag that I'm not sure I understand completely. Part of the code produces a URL similar to the following: http://myhost/playlist.pls?song=100song=101song=102 and $song then gets passed to this function: function get_song_path_from_id ( $song ) { GLOBAL $dbh, $db_name; $songs = ''; $count = 0; if ( is_array( $song ) ) { while ( list($k,$v) = each($song) ) { //does some cool stuff } } else { //does some other stuff } return ($songs); } So, am I correct in assuming that $song will never be considered an array? (basically, given the above code and URL, $song will always equal 102) I'm new to PHP, and since I didn't write the original code, I'm not sure if this is a bug, or something that I just don't fully understand. Assuming it is a bug, can anyone offer some suggestions on how to take the URL and parse it out and input the values into an array called $song? (get_song_path_from_id() is used by several other parts of the code, so any modifications to that code would need to leave the rest of the functionality intact) Thanks. --kurt P.S. If anyone is looking for a simple, easy-to-use (and set up) mp3 manager, I highly recommend ampache. It doesn't have a bunch of bells whistles (which I don't want) -- it simply provides a simple, effective way to manage playlists and play your mp3 songs from anywhere. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] REPOST: converting multiple URL values for the same variable into an array
Hi Kurt, So, am I correct in assuming that $song will never be considered an array? (basically, given the above code and URL, $song will always equal 102) If .pls is a PHP file, then in my experience yes you're right. However, I've never seen a PHP file called .pls, it may be something else. Java Servlets for example will allow you to overload variables like that on a URL line and will indeed produce an array. I could be wrong, though.

If PHP won't overload them to an array, you could parse $QUERY_STRING manually. -Original Message- From: Jason Murray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 11:06 PM To: 'Kurt Lieber'; 'PHP General List (E-mail)' Subject: RE: [PHP] REPOST: converting multiple URL values for the same variable into an array Hi Kurt, So, am I correct in assuming that $song will never be considered an array?

Sorry -- I should have clarified that .pls has been added as a php file type in httpd.conf. -Original Message- From: Jason Murray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 8:06 PM To: 'Kurt Lieber'; 'PHP General List (E-mail)' Subject: RE: [PHP] REPOST: converting multiple URL values for the same variable into an array Hi Kurt, So, am I correct in assuming that $song will never be considered an array?
