note 65957 added to reserved.variables

Here's a quick function for replacing values within a query string. I use this quite a bit for ordering a list obtained from a database. e.g. If I want a link to order the list by firstname, I would use: <a href=".replaceQueryString('orderby',$firstname).">first</a>. If I want a link to order by last name, I would use: <a href=".replaceQueryString('orderby',$lastname).">last</a>. //$var = global query variable //$val = new value for global query variable function replaceQueryString($var,$val){ global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS; $query_string = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["QUERY_STRING"]; return preg_replace("/$var=[\\d\\w]*/","$var=$val",$query_string); } Hope this helps someone.. ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 216.81.228.129 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=4.0 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, HTML_20_30,HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/65957 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65957/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65957/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65957/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65957/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65957/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65957/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65957 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/65957 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
