Parsing # sign.

[GB_001]

Hello,

The number sign does not seem to be showing up after a GET request.

 

I've set up a script for an example:

 

text.php:

<?php
session_start();
mysql_connect("localhost", "*****", "*******************9") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("*****") or die(mysql_error()); 
function safe($var)
{
$var=mysql_real_escape_string(addslashes(htmlspecialchars($var, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')));
return $var;
}

$N=safe($_GET['N']);
echo"$N";
?>

 

Say the url is text.php?N=### None of the symbols show up.

 

Thankyou,

GB.

In URLs, the octothorpe has a specific meaning. To use it in another way inside the URL you'll need to use urlencode / urldecode.

Thankyou, I found an excellent way of parsing AJAX url params to PHP  via Jquery.
