Re: [PHP] plus sign has changed to space after POST

2002-11-21 Thread bhkwan 
finally, I have this issue solved.

I have recompiled PHP without this

--enable-mbstr-enc-trans

For those who said they have no problem with the + sign, tried to 
compile your PHP with the option above and tried it out!!!  ;)

I know this is not a PHP bug but I am curious how people handle the + 
sign issue when they have this option support in their php..

That's a terrible idea.

Not only does this avoid fixing the real issue (tries to fix the
symptom instead of the problem), you're telling him to change all
spaces to + signs.

Imagine a form asking for your name. You enter Hugh Danaher only to
see it translated into Hugh+Danaher on the server.

Spaces are encoded as plus signed or %20 in the URL, depending on the
method you use. PHP will automatically urldecode() the values passed in
the URL apparently. If you are trying to pass an actual + sign, you need
to encode it with urlencode() or rawurlencode().

I have tried this but the problem is it change the other special character 
as well.  For example, $ to %24, etc. 

If people pass a string like abc+def$ghi, I want to save the exact 
string to the database rather than abc+def%24ghi.  I can't do a 
translation of %24 to $ before saving the string  to the database because 
user might input a string like abc+%3423324hello%23ddd

You have to encode it on one end, and decode it on the other.

Use

$url_safe = urlencode($string);

and pass $url_safe in the URL. Then on the receiving end, use

$back_to_normal = urldecode($url_safe_string);

This is the problem that I describe earlier in the thread.  I can't save 
%24 in the database but $. 

ie
a user send a string abc+def$ghi, I need to get the exact string back 
but not abc+def%24ghi.

so is this a bug in PHP??

2002-11-19 Thread John W. Holmes 
Show your code. If I pass a + sign in a form, it comes out as a plus
sign in my data... I don't see your problem unless I do something like
this:

$data = abc+def$ghi;
echo a href='link.php?data=$data'Click Here/a;

Which is solved by using urlencode() before you place it in the link.

I don't believe it has anything to do with PHP, to be honest.  I've got
scripts that are several versions of PHP old that do that.  However, it
makes no difference in execution of the script.

case show roster:
{
...
}

catches submit=show+roster quite nicely.
