Parsing a url

[mlindal]

How do I capture the current query that got me to a particular php page?

ie. if the url in the header is: http://domain.com/publist.php?name=tree&year=2005

And I want to capture the part of the url past the '?'

something like this:

$query = parse_url(['query']);

in old cdml it was using the FMP-Link command

and in perl it is $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}

So what small part am I missing?

Thanks

further to this, I am trying to get the query from a 'POST' form rather than a 'GET'

so all variables are hidden.

I think there must be something I can do with $_REQUEST

The goal is to take the variables from one page and send the variables (query) to another PHP page.

Try this:

$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]

Thanks Gary,

$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] works excellent for 'GET' but if for security I want to use 'POST' on the form and keep all fields hidden, that won't work.

So then I am left with having the $_REQUEST capturing all the fields (GET, POST, COOKIE) and wanting to send those fields to a new PHP page.

Page1.php takes all the data from a form via POST. All the fields are hidden, so the only way I see is to use $_REQUEST or $_POST.

I then want take those fields and keep them hidden and send them to a second page (Page2.php).

So... please help with the following and feel free to make corrections.

I might try to take the array $_POST and save it to a new array.

$variables = $_POST;

I then might try the following to pass it to the new page.

For a POST I've used this before:

$args = "";

while ($fm_params = Current($_REQUEST))

	{

	$args .= urlencode(key($_REQUEST)) . "=" . urlencode($fm_params) . "&";

	next($_REQUEST);

	};

//echo $args;		

$content = @file_get_contents("http://localhost:591/FMPro?" . $args);

Good Luck.

Thanks Gary, good idea.

What I did do that seems to work is take all the items from the POST and put them into a form so that this form can then be posted to a new page (similar trick to the next and Prev in a long list of items)

The javascript eliminates the huge submit button.

I've just remembered about this one. I used CURL to create a POST from a query string. However, you woud be able to use the "while ($fm_params = Current($_REQUEST))" loop to construct the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS list, then use this to send it:

<?php

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost:591/FMPro");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "-db=combotest.fp5&-format=-fmp_xml&-findall");

curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

?>

All the best.
