really bizarre error...

[stew]

ok i have the following function...

function getHeader($section=null,$action=null,$id1=null,$id2=null,$id3=null,$limit=null,$error = null)
    {      $link = "?";

        $link .= ($section) ? "section=".$section."&" : "";
        $link .= ($action) ? "action=".$action."&" : "";
        $link .= ($id1) ? "id1=".$id1."&" : "";
        $link .= ($id2) ? "id2=".$id2."&" : "";
        $link .= ($id3) ? "id3=".$id3."&" : "";
        $link .= ($limit) ? "limit=".$limit."&" : "";
        $link .= ($error) ? "e=".$error."&" : "";
        $link = substr($link,0,-1);

        return $link;
}

being called like...

$header = getHeader("community","profile");

in the above example $header contains ?section=hE(some sort of filled in black square)&action=profile

I have tested this function throughly and it works fine in all other circumstances

also:

$header = getHeader("communi","profile");  /// works fine
$header = getHeader("communit","profile");  /// doesn't work either!!

for the record im running easy php on windows...

hope someone will be able to help!

cheers

your examples work fine on my computer, but I am not using easyPhp... Either PHP is processing yours strings funny, or you are sending them funny. Out of curiosity, what editor are you using, and what is it set at to encode as UTF8 or iso8859_11, perhaps try changing your editors settings.

im using php desinger 2005... and i have no idea what it is set to encode in... but the same function works fine when called with "community" as the first parameter. i'm assuming it can make a big difference which way the scripts are encoded!!
