Re: SSI and query string variables to PHP

Hmmm.... after doing more research on it, it appears that this server variable only appears in SSI documents. And I didn't quote the variable correctly, its "QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED" I guess that SSI does not send through the querystring to the included script. I might have to just use the QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED variable and populate the $_REQUEST array myself, cause the "QUERY_STRING" variable is empty... Tim. At 10:52 AM 4/25/2004, Evan Nemerson wrote:

But it does get the UNESCAPED_QUERY_STRING variable...wierd, huh ? Yeah, especially since I've never heard of UNESCAPED_QUERY_STRING- but then again, neither has google- http://www.google.com/search?q=%22UNESCAPED_QUERY_STRING%22 Can you send a copy of the variable, or if you're comfortable a phpinfo()? It might be that apache isn't sending that variable to php from an included file...not sure... That's why I'm asking everyone. Tim. At 01:22 AM 4/25/2004, Evan Nemerson wrote:

Hi all, ok, this may be a dumb question, but I have a page that has server side includes that include a php script like this : <!--#include virtual="schedule.php" --> works fine, except the script doesn't appear to receive any of the query string information if that page has a query string on it... an example would be something like this : http://www.domain.com/index.shtml?myvariable=1 the php script should get $_REQUEST['myvariable']==1, but instead does not get any of the query information. The $_SERVER global gets the unescaped query string, but has no value for just the query string...

um, huh? you mean it has the query string but it isn't parsed into the proper superglobals ($_GET, $_REQUEST)? Not really sure what you're looking for here so i'm going to just pretend this paragraph isn't here ;)

any way around this without making the whole page a php script ?

php.net/parse_str

Thanks, Tim
