Getting values from a query string

6 New Member
Hi there,

I've used the cUrl library to return a query string from a remote server to a variable. The

query string looks a bit like this:

...php?message_ id=a1&recipient =unit1&sendday= fri

At the moment, the whole of this query string is contained in a single variable ($qstring) so if I print $qstring, "message_id=a1& recipient=unit1 &sendday=fri " will be sent to the browser.


Can anyone tell me how to break the values "a1", "unit1" and "fri" into individual variables

so that I can start using them in the rest of my code like this:

$message_id = "a1";
$recipient = "unit1";
$sendday = "fri";

I'd like to achive this in the same php script rather than sending it to another page to GET

the elements of the query string.

Thanks in advance,
Paul.

Hi I have a program which I need to interface with a webpage - the webpage will accept an input (probably a 'post' string from the program) and then will process it and needs to return a value. Is there an easy way to interface the program to do this?

For example: Nz(,0) returns "300" if the value in field is 300 (currency data type) and "0" if the value is zero or null. I get strings in the query output - they are all left aligned and I cannot add them without first converting them to values. What might be causing this?

Hi, I have the following code that runs my report generator. The user selects a table from a combo box, then whatever fields they want from a list box. (This part all works and the report runs fine). There is then a combo box they can select a field from (eg CompanyID etc) and then the list box below that contains the values (eg Microsoft, Novell etc). These are all multi-select list boxes. Now I can get the code to work if the user...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
