This is a follow up for a previous question I asked yesterday here: Slashes in GET request (to be used with PHP back end)
I have a link that has 2 GET parameters in it where I want to use in my PHP whenever I visit that website. The link has both spaces and slashes in it.
Using the amazing answer provided in the previous question, I was able to get the parameters and retrieve them via the get methods as follows:
https://randomness.com?path=%2Fvar%2Fimages%2Fsub%20images%2&name=image%2001.jpg
$path = $_GET['path'];
$name = $_GET['name'];
Then I do a merging for the above in the following way:
$filePath = "$path" . "$name";
then echoying $filepath, gives me : /var/images/sub images/&name=image01.jpg
and then use it inside my method, show($filepath);
Unfortunately, this does not work. However, if I use the following:
show('/var/images/sub images/&name=image01.jpg')
the method works fine.
To investigate more, whenever I do a comparison using strcmp I get that one string is bigger than the other, even though echoyin both shows the same on the screen.
strcmp($file_name, '/var/images/sub images/&name=image01.jpg');
What am I missing?
