Please remember that a 'variable' in Rev is not the same as a
'variable' in a POST command sent to a PHP script.
The PHP script parses the *single string* that is passed into the
following:
pairs of names and values...
the name of the variable PHP will use, the string value of the variable
Send this from Rev "flower=rose&plant=tree&shrub=Arbor%20Vitae"
( the %20 represents a valid space character to PHP)
----------
put "flower=rose&plant=tree&shrub=Arbor%20Vitae" into stringToSend
post stringToSend to "http://thisdomain.com/landscaping/inventory.php";
PHP *parses* this incoming string to (case sensitive)
$flower with a value of "rose"
$plant with a value of "tree"
$shrub with a value of "Arbor Vitae"
but not $Shrub or $sHrub or $shruB
Trying to refer to $Shrub if it is not defined will produce and error
and stop the PHP script execution.
PHP will render the error message as part of your visible web page.
------------------------
To pass an array, you need to (in Rev) convert the array to a single
string with delimiters, pass this to PHP, and then run script lines in
PHP to convert the string into an array (usually using a series of the
'explode' function)
If a stack has a card for each {guitar, drum}
and a field listing {Flaminco, 400 and Stratocaster,3000}{snare,150
base,350 tympani,2900}
An example string sent to PHP
build the string and then choose a name for the PHP script to use as
the variable
*note, you must pass the legal variable name for PHP, and it needs to
match the name that the PHP script will use to work with the variable.
"musicArr=guitar~Flaminco,400^Stratocaster,3000|drum~snare,150^base,
350^tympani,2900"
//PHP allows multi dimensional arrays, so we need to build it from the
string
$instruments = explode('|', $musicArr);
then you explode each instrument and add it to the $instruments array
then you explode each listed kind (Flaminco) and add it to the
$instruments array
and set the value at the same time => with the price (eg $2900
for the tympani)
The result is one PHP variable that is a multidimensional array such
that
$price = $instruments['guitar']['Stratocaster'] // 3000
$price = $instruments['drum']['tympani'] // 2900
Fun and games and a little bit of stress.

Yves,
First of all, you need to define a variable. Without variables, php
isn't even aware that you tried to send something. Second, you need
to urlEncode your data. For example:
put "myVar=" & urlEncode(fld "myFld") into myString
post myString to url "http://www.mondomaine.be/dossierscripts/
test.php"
If you have multiples variables, myString should be of the following
format:
"myVar1=" & myData1 & "&myVar2=" & myData2
where myDataX is urlEncoded.
