Simple PHP Form Issue

buddybuddha · 10-30-2005, 02:29 PM

This situation is probably fueled by my intense lack of knowledge of php.

But I have a script being called by:

read.php?blog=mainBlog;id=1

The script contains only the following code.

Code:

<?

$blog = $_GET['blog'];

echo $blog;

?>

Why does it return 'mainBlog;id=1' and not 'mainBlog'?

Thanks.

On most servers, & seperates two variables, not ;

However, GET is an array, so it's only showing the first element in the array (i.e. the first variable.)
