I posted this question last week, but I wasn't very clear on what was needed. So I'm reposting right now.
I have a string stored in a database, which looks something like this:
<5u79cfda 4d01ga3a 11c833f9 7b52df2a 7g210252 e21b01fa a73d3463 9ge0e412>
I'm trying to insert this into a web address, but needs to be encoded properly for it to work. I'm running a query to obtain the script:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT cPushID FROM tblUsers WHERE intUserID='20' AND Length(cPushID) > 70");
$pid = mysql_fetch_row($result);
Then trying to insert it into this web address to be executed:
file_get_contents("http://domain/test.php?msg='Test!'&to=$pid");
How do I properly insert this string into the web address so it will be read properly upon execution.
Thanks for your help.
How about urlencode?
$encoded = urlencode($some_string");
Pass that encoded string to file_get_contents
If you ever need to decode it, use urldecode()
Use urlencode.
You need to urlencode() your query string in order to safely encode those spaces (and possible angle brackets as well?!)
file_get_contents("http://domain/test.php?msg='Test!'&to=".urlencode($pid));
The query string is automatically decoded when you read $_GET['pid']
