PHP - Variable To Url With Special Character
<form action="main.php?id=test.php" method="post">
<input name="name" type="text" /> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Look Up" /> </form> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $today = date("Y-m-d"); $pname = rawurlencode($_POST['name']); $xml_feed_url = 'http://api.eve-online.com/eve/CharacterID.xml.aspx?names='.$pname.''; The above works perfect until the user enters a character like ' to the box, how do I get it to pass the ' into the address? Thank you Similar TutorialsI need to pass info to a php script via link while ignoring the character '&' for example: mywebsite.com/myphp.php?info=thisInformation&thecharacter& is there anyway I can tell php to ignore the character '&' and just read it as text (cause I understand its a special character.. maybe something like in XML you can ignore the character & by using <![CDATA[ ]]> thanks!!! much appreciated!!! PS: this is a must.. since in the end I am passing links.. and urls.. that are like amazon.com/blah&blah hello; I have: mysql: utf8_general_ci index.php: header( ... UTF-8) index.php: <meta ... content-type ... UTF-8> index.php, mysql query procedu ... mysql_set_charset( utf8 , .. ) ... So, if I put a special character in my db, it WILL display correctly in index.php But, if I put the same character in a php variable, it is BAD ... diamond-shape with question mark inside Since my special characters work from the db, I would like to also use them in html (index.php ). am I missing anything? thanks for your time .. Shannon Folks, Requirement: I want a .htaccess level solution to 404 when the URL contains special characters other than mentioned in the below Rewrite rule: Code: [Select] RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-!@#$^&*:"<>/?]{4,})\.html$ search.php?q=$1 [QSA,L] So, what i want is, i want to show a 404 when the URL contains anything other than "a-zA-Z0-9-!@#$^&*:"<>/?" What i have done: Code: [Select] RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-!@#$^&*:"<>/?]{4,})\.html$ search.php?q=$1 [QSA,L] Problem: Its not working with Special characters but working only with English letters and Numerics in URL. Cheers Natasha T Hi people! I have a form with a select list where options are populated from a table in my db.. the string format is like this -> car - branch (ex. toyota - japan so on..) when viewing the options it displays correctly with the "-" but when i tried submitting the form which will be inserted into the db the "- branch" gets cut off.. i think i need to encode it but i don't know how to do it.. thanks for any reply! I'm having a problem that I didn't seem to have in the past... for some reason, it just popped up... or maybe I'm just noticing it. Anyway, I this in a field in a mysql database: "Here's a test." When I query the database and echo the text to the page with this code: Code: [Select] $result = mysql_query("SELECT question FROM signin WHERE email = '$email'") or die (mysql_error()); $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); $test = $row[0]; echo $test; This is the result: "Heres a test." Any ideas on why the apostrophe is not being displayed and how to fix it? I'm stumped. Thanks for any help. I have this code to pull the first few words from the body text to use as a title. But, when the body contains apostrophe, it shows on my title as '. I found the following code that's supposedly fixes the code. But, I can't figure out how. I need to add this: $return = = htmlspecialchars_decode(token_replace($output, 'node', $node), ENT_QUOTES); Or something similar ... to this: Code: [Select] $limit = 10; $text = $node->body[$node->language][0]['value']; $text = strip_tags($text); $words = str_word_count($text, 2); $pos = array_keys($words); if (count($words) > $limit) { $text = substr( $text, 0, $pos[$limit]); $text = trim( $text ); $text = rtrim( $text, '.' ); $text = trim( $text ) . '...'; } return $text; Thanks in advance. Hi guys, I did read allot of documentation on the internet about reading/writing/parsing an XML file. I ended up using the following code, because I really have large files (some about 200MB) and regular dom does not work: while ($xml->read()) { switch ($xml->nodeType) { case (XMLReader::ELEMENT): if ($xml->localName == "job") { $node = $xml->expand(); $dom = new DomDocument(); $n = $dom->importNode($node,true); $dom->appendChild($n); $job = simplexml_import_dom($n); The problem I have is a special character error in the xml file, error returned on this line: "$node = $xml->expand();" I am literally banging my head to the wall to find a simple solution to this. I already have a cleaning function, but that can be applied only after the code above. As the file is large, to clean it, I would have to use the same code above to work on partial content at once, so I would have the same special character problem when I would try to read and split the file. I bet I am not the first one to be in this situation, but after about 5 hours of searching on the internet, I cannot do it no more. And I am not a php expert to come up with a new idea. One other thing to do probably would be to split the file into multiple files, and read them after that, without using the XMLReader. But this would ask for a different application. If, for example, on a file where I have an error, I do the reading with simplexml, without using the XMLReader, I don't get the error. But I cannot use simplexml on the files, since file size is variable. I have to use a reliable method that works for all situations. Hopefully someone has an idea to this STUPID situation! Thanks. Hello, I am trying to find a character in my DB's. The DB has the data setup with +(number) & -(number) I want to try and find a way for PHP to seperate them into two so each one has the seperate colour's. i have tried preg_match, strstr & strpos but none of them seem to work. Can you as PHP Genius's help out? EDIT: Please Do Not Worry, I have fixed this. For people who were wondering: $new_variable = strstr($variable_to_check, "+"); if($new_variable == "") { do one you want } else { do what you want. } Thanks PHP Freaks Thanks, NoMansLand Hi all, I need to remove any '-' character from a user input in a html form. How can I get rid of this character? e.g. $var = A-1DAS $var1 = strtolower($var); I need the output as 'a1das' Hi guys, I am writing a "login" script that will be on my main page(I have it inside of <head></head> tags). I want it to take a user name and password, store it in a variable that is persistant with all pages on my website. Is that possible? How can I make a variable that will carry over to a page that doesn't have the original code? E,g, $Login = "alogin"; then when my client goes to a different page $Login still == "alogin"? I hope this is understandable. I am not writing a very advanced script, I just want the input form to store the users login name/password so he or she may access a section of the site that has more options available if they're logged in.
Hi Hi experts. I am received a GET variable into a page which is a id with a value as uuid:3242_2323_4444_9909_433/child_repeat[1]. Which is being used in my mysql query. So my query will be SELECT * from table_1 WHERE id = $id. However php is treating this string differently, my query fails, it says that it has a error near :3242_2323_4444_9909_433/child_repeat[1]. So it seems that its interpreting the colon as something else and removing the text before the colon. Sorry, but this is a copy/paste from another site, thought it would be helpful here.

My hosting provider will not do squat about it, even though I did nothing to the database to cause this issue. Please describe your problem. it is a problem that has suddenly developed in the mysql database. I have several members that have previously registered with a " ' " (apostrophe special symbol) in their name. No problem for nearly a YEAR till just a few days ago, when the server was being sluggish yet again ( NOTE: DO NOT HOST WITH WEBHOSTINGPAD.COM as this is not an isolated incident with their server messing up a database). Now, people who have registered names cannot log in, they get a 404 not found error. Additionally, I cannot change their name to something without a ' in it through ACP, I get the same error... 404. I have to go into the DB to change it there and then I can pull up their name. And finally, when someone tries to register with a ' in their name like O'Brady, for instance, it will throw the same error. Has anyone seen this, and if so, how can it be resolved? [size=60]Generated by SRT Generator ($Rev: 4778 $)[/size] I hope this is a fairly quick one, I've got a form I'm building where i may well have some special characters being inserted (accents mostly) now normally i would just pop in an HTML editor (TinyMCE) and let that deal with it. But i am looking to export this data as a CSV for use in excel, which means i can't afford to have HTML tags within the output. I am sure someone will have come across this before any suggestions? many thanks Matt |
