urldecode not working

gatekat

Hi,

My server just upgraded and turned register_globals off, possibly other things as well. Good for security and it won't be changed.

Now urldecode() no longer works on my site.

Example:
http://www.furryfandom.net/lists.php?Alpha=C
$Alpha = urldecode($Alpha);

This used to return only the entries that began with 'C' as $Alpha was 'C'. Now $Alpha is empty, even when nothing in the PHP/URL has changed, only the server settings.

Any ideas on what I need to do to get the URL info into variables again?

When referencing variables passed via the URL, use $GET.
When referencing variables passed via a post form, use $POST.

[man]urldecode[/man] is the opposite of [man]urlencode[/man] and does not retireve the info from the URL. That is done from the $GET array. So, your code should be:

$Alpha = $_GET['Alpha'];

Thank you.

I changed the $Alpha = urldecode($Alpha); to $Alpha = $_GET['Alpha']; on the page.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work either.

I looked up $GET and saw several references to register_globals, but I couldn't figure out if having register_globals off meant I needed to do something else to enable $GET to work.

Any thoughts on what I need to do would be welcome.

I'll post the full page code if that would be helpful.
