[RESOLVED] preg_split / preg_match Test for URI query substring?

fuzzy1

Hey All,

While I've muddled my way through a few regexp endeavors, for the most part they just leave me scratching my head.

I'm trying to test for the string 'list_edit=true' from a uri such as the following:

http://localhost/crm/index.php?action=EditView&module=Contacts&record=57232101-01e7-c5ad-2cd3-44fe6b82c772&offset=1&stamp=1181303566091630100&list_edit=true
in order to get to something like

if(list_edit=true){
echo"<script>alert('hooray');</script>";
}

With the following, I'm able to dirive the queryString
'action=EditView&module=Contacts&record=57232101-01e7-c5ad-2cd3-44fe6b82c772&offset=1&stamp=1181303566091630100&list_edit=true'

$domain = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$path = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
$queryString = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
//echo "The query sting is: " . $queryString . "<br />";  

$chars = preg_split('/&/', $queryString, -1, PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
//print_r($chars);

$pattern = '/^list_edit=true/';
preg_match($pattern, substr($chars,5), $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
print_r($matches);

But $matches returns an empty array.

1 - assuming this is a reasonalbe approach... what am I missing???
2 - maybe there is a better way to go about it???

$domain = $SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$path = $SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
$queryString = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
echo "The query sting is: " . $queryString . "<br />";

$findme = 'list_edit=true';
$pos = strpos($queryString, $findme);

if ($pos === false) {
echo "The string '$findme' was not found in the string '$mystring'";
} else {
echo "<script>alert('hooray');</script>";
}

if( $_GET['list_edit'] == 'true' )
{
	print 'Yes';
}
else
{
	print 'no';
}
