is their anything besides the &?

 

I'm trying to do ?username&type=.

 

But the game engine's TCP object don't support &...

Wow what a vague, vague question....

 

Anyway, you could always make PHP explode and use the $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'].

 

For example:

 

if the following page was named test.php and you went to http://yoursite.com/test.php/corbin/type1/....

 

$q = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$e = explode('/', $q);
if(count($e) < 2) {
    echo "All of the information wasn't supplied.";
}
else {
    echo "The name is {$e[0]} and the type is {$e[1]}.";
}

 

That would say, The name is corbin and the type is type1.

I have an answer and a question..

 

The answer is that ";" can sometimes be used instead of "&"

 

The question is:  TCP is at a lower level to HTTP, and deal with connections between hosts.  HTTP is the level at which "&" is used.  I would not expect a TCP object to deal with "&", which is an HTTP thing.  Are you using the right object?

The delimienation of $_GET variables is not handled at your TCP Level but the directory level via the config file .htaccess

 

The delimenation can be altered as it is in this forum to ;

Actually, cooldude, the parsing of the $_GET array is handled by PHP, not Apache.

Well the phrasing of it, but I believe, and tell me if I'm wrong, .htaccess will all you to alter it, which changes how apache sets it up to give to php?

[corbin]

Do you mean something like using mod_rewrite to change something like http://somesite.com/thepage.php/5/ to http://somesite.com/thepage.php?id=5 behind the scenes?  In that case, the URL given to PHP is still http://somesite.com/thepage.php?id=5.

ok, thanks for the replies!

You can almost use anything really, just make sure you break down the url String the right way, and use an explode function to get the data.

 

 

This forum uses ";"
