RE: [PHP] Change POST for GET

You can use urlencode() to preserve the spaces. You don't have to any manual conversions from space to + or something else. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Lee [mailto:lee@mediawaveonline.com] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 9:35 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Change POST for GET sessions do not allow pages to be cached, when sessions are being used th no-cache header is set. GET and POST are very differnt in some areas and very alike in others. obviously the two biggest changes is that all the variables and their values are in the url bar. I beleive most browsers have a 1024 limit for data in the url bar, I could be wrong. the other thing is you'll find spaces suck in url bars. http://www.mediawaveonline.com/index.php?name=Chris Lee <?php echo $name; ?> will echo Chris thats all. the space ends all. you'll have to convert all spaces to %20 or + http://www.mediawaveonline.com/index.php?name=Chris%20Lee http://www.mediawaveonline.com/index.php?name=Chris+Lee -- Chris Lee lee@mediawaveonline.com ""Jorge Alvarez"" <alvarezje@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:98u7rj$4nf$1@toye.p.sourceforge.net... Hi there, I was using POST method on all my forms but I had to change them to GET because of "expired page" errors (I noticed this as soon as I began using PHP4 sessions). It seems that GET works well so far, but I wonder if there's something else I should be aware of. Are both methods equivalent?
