Parse URL with double ? ? in the url

Pigmaster

Hi,

I am trying to parse a url that has 2 ? in it.

eg url

http://test.localhost/redirect.php?&&&&&&55555554&&&http://test1.localhost/cable.csv?s=RR&a=8

I tried parse-url but the query array only returns
?&&&&&&55555554&&&http://test1.localhost/cable.csv

ie. it misses the s=RR&a=8

Does any body know how to over come this.

I am trying to write a redirect page and this is the way the software outputs it url (so that can not be altered to use ?xx=x& etc)

[man]urlencode[/man]
[man]urldecode[/man]

Hi,

to correct the url you can do something like:

<?PHP
$url = "http://test.localhost/redirect.php?&&&&&&55555554&&&[url]http://test1.localhost/cable.csv?s=RR&a=8[/url]";
echo $url."<br>\n";
$arrParts = preg_split("§[?&]+§",$url);

$newurl = $arrParts[0];
unset($arrParts[0]);
$newurl .= "?".implode("&",$arrParts);

echo $newurl."<br>\n";
?>

Edit: No, that won't work, use urlencode like mentioned by devinemke to urlencode the parameter.

Pigmaster

eg url

http://test.localhost/redirect.php?...sv?s=RR&a=8

$url = urldecode(urlencode($url));

works

You have to encode and then decode, but it works.

Thanks.
