can I use $_GET['SPECIALCHARACTER'];

[GTROCKSTAR]

Hi PHPFREAKS Forum, Let me tell u about myself, I am 14 Years old and I love php and web development i currently have over 12 small sites running myself, and my Dad is a Web Developer from the UK He is a Microsoft Technician for boeing company also.

But my question is here:

 

 

I want to use $_GET['╫']; or any type of special character, other then 1-10 and a-z..

 

Thanks?

 

Have a wonderful new year fellas.

Is there a reason you want to use special characters?

 

As far as I know it is not allowed and would be difficult to do as the url would have to be encoded to display. Your best bet is to try it many different ways to, if you cannot get it, chances are it is not possible.

I would say the $_GET array would follow the convention of all array naming and array key naming in PHP: http://au2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php

 

I'm not sure, but I think naming of array keys follows the rules of variable naming conventions: http://au2.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.basics.php

Variable names follow the same rules as other labels in PHP. A valid variable name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of letters, numbers, or underscores. As a regular expression, it would be expressed thus: '[a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*'

 

    Note: For our purposes here, a letter is a-z, A-Z, and the bytes from 127 through 255 (0x7f-0xff).

 

Hope this helps.
