Calling a script with an attached variable

[will_d]

I'm coding again after a break of many years!

Attaching variables to script call:
e.g. script.php?order=999

How do you list more than one variable?

Thanks

Dave

I should have posted this in the PHP section. Sorry

Hi Dave,

You can attach multiple variables to the query string by using ampersands:

script.php?order=999&quantity=2&productid=34

To use strings like this then you'll need the correct URL encoded values for things like spaces eg:

script.php?comment=This%20is%20great

PHP offers a function to convert strings or any other variable into proper URL encoded values. Its called urlencode() and you can get more info at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php

Be careful passing variables like this though. It'd be safer to pass any password values or any confidential data via the POST method using a form. Hope that helps anyway.
