RE: [PHP] Arg seperators

i had to do that once with a perl script i was writing because there were a variable number of "options" that could be passed in, yet i needed to have a fixed number of paramaters going into the script. i used: ./prog.cgi?opts=x:1,y:2,z:3 sort-of like a primitive form of php's ability to pass arrays on the command line. i was using PHP before it was even written ;) > -----Original Message----- > From: DAve Goodrich [mailto:daveg@rblc.com] > Subject: [PHP] Arg seperators > > > According to the w3c validation program; > > A URL for a CGI program that uses `&' as a separator, such as > "http://host/prog?x=1&y=2".
