Subject: urlEncode Problem
Date: Sat, 03 Apr 1999 04:26:00 GMT
Message-ID: <370594cb.3837301@su1.in.net>

Hello List,

I'm having a problem using the urlEncode() function. My database and
w3-msql script works fine, it's just the urlEncode() function that's
giving me problems.

I have an HTML form where text can be entered into text fields. The
action of that HTML form calls another web page that has a w3-msql
script in it. The w3-msql script takes the values that were entered
into the form, urlEncodes() them, then inserts them into the database.

There is a third page that queries the text from the database and
displays it in the HTML page, but it looks all strange. There are "+"
signs between each word and all apostrophe's appear as "%27". Is this
normal or have I used the urlEncode() function incorrectly?

Thanks for the help!

If you urlencode() a text, to display it, you first need to urldecode()
it.

You will do something like:

echo urldecode($html_out);

Commenting on Mitch Shields message about creation of variables, and
variable names references (see below).

I think that support of this mechanism would be good. This exists
already in PHP, and it is called variable variables, so if you have
variables like:

[WARNING: PHP only code follows]

$foo = "Nice day";
$bar = 1.23;
$biz = array (1, "foo", "boom");

then:

$v = "foo";
echo $$v; // is equivalent to: echo $foo;

$v = "bar";
echo gettype($$v); // will print "double"

$v = "biz";
echo ${$v}[2]; // will print "boom"
echo ${$v[1]}; // will be equivalent to: echo $foo;
// notice the braces in the above 2 lines;

This works even with the function names, so you can do:

        $gfun = "func1";

and then:

        $gfun(par1, par2, par3);

will be equivalent to:

        func1(par1, par2, par3);

So you can have something like overloading of methods in objects.

[END of PHP only code]

Functionality like this in Lite will make it more powerful.

Actually, createVariable is useful if you ever need to dynamically
"mass-create" variables through a loop (though I am not
sure why you
  wouldn't just use an array at that point). What I am looking for
would be a
  function that would allow me to specify a string as an argument and
return
  the value of an already existing variable that matches that string.
  Something more like:
   
  $i = 0;
  while ($i < 11)
  {
  $foo = "$client_" + (char) $i;
  $value[$i] = extractVariable( $foo)
  $i = $i + 1;
  }
   
  extractVariable() would be a Lite function that returns the value of
the
  string representation of the variable.
  My form would have a number of fields named client_0 through client_10
and
  that code would let me assign the values of those fields to the $value
  array. I would prefer that to the overhead of some symbol table that
  contained every field from the submitted form.

Franz,

I don't recall the error I got that you refer to. Could you expand the
description a bit. I must have worked it out because we have w3-auth
working and running an extranet app.

Although the docs are weak once you've gone through it a couple of
times, it pretty much makes sense.
