Passing parameters via the URL

(1/1)

Søren Bjerg:
I'm having a few problems concerning passing parameters via the URL using ';' and '&'.

1) http://www.domain.tld/script.php?param1=var1;param1=var2;param3=var3
- makes validators validate one's HTML successfully, but can't seem to $_GET the parameters.

2) http://www.domain.tld/script.php?param1=var1&param1=var2&param3=var3
- makes validators spit out an error message, but can successfully $_GET the parameters.

How would I be able to $_GET the parameters in the first example (using ';')?

I noticed YaBB SE (and SMF too) used that method, but couldn't seem to find out how it was done :(.

check QueryString.php, check the one from yse 1.4.x or older, they were simpler

use & so it will validate fine

Much thanks... don't know why I didn't think of that, probably just thought it would generate the same error, but I now know it doesn't - will just keep to using that method; '&' instead of ';' :).
