Re: Re: Putting $_POST into string to send to ASP

The client's vendor only specifies that it's <field>=<data> pairs and that it's URL encoded so I don't think that's an issue. But don't let that squelch any discussion. :) Jeff Oien Vail, Warren wrote:

I believe we all missed something important here, but I've been wrong before. Notice his URL below, specifically the "https" part. I believe this means that the data not only needs to be URL encoded but SSL encrypted. I believe this makes a stronger case for using CURL, does it not? I also would mean that his hack code would not work. Correct me if I'm wrong? Warren Vail

Dumb question, sorry if it's a repeat. I will use PHP for a form with error checking. When there are no errors I need to send all the variables thru something like this: $URL = "https://example.com/script.asp?First=Jim&Last=Smith"; urlencode($URL); header("Location: $URL\n"); How do I gather up all the variables in $_POST and attach them as a string after the question mark? Thanks. Jeff

Try the http_build_query() function. If you don't have PHP 5, look in the user notes--someone appears to have written one for PHP 4 as well (the user note 21-Jun-2004 from 'brooklynphil'). I haven't tested either one. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.http-build-query.php Using this, you could just do something like: $query_string = http_build_query($_POST); Hope this helps, Torben <torben@php.net>
