What does this function do?

[Guest]

Hi there,

 

I am trying to use the safe urls, but I have the problem that the function in application_top.php (please see below) doesn't seem to return any other variables than $cPath. My URL is e.g.

 

.../index.php/cPath/1_3/page/3/limit20

 

The $cPath variable is OK, but $page and $limit are empty. I suppose this is because of the following function?!

 

// set the HTTP GET parameters manually if search_engine_friendly_urls is enabled

if (SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS == 'true') {

if (strlen(getenv('PATH_INFO')) > 1) {

$GET_array = array();

$PHP_SELF = str_replace(getenv('PATH_INFO'), '', $PHP_SELF);

$vars = explode('/', substr(getenv('PATH_INFO'), 1));

for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($vars); $i<$n; $i++) {

if (strpos($vars[$i], '[]')) {

$GET_array[substr($vars[$i], 0, -2)][] = $vars[$i+1];

} else {

$HTTP_GET_VARS[$vars[$i]] = $vars[$i+1];

}

$i++;

}

 

if (sizeof($GET_array) > 0) {

while (list($key, $value) = each($GET_array)) {

$HTTP_GET_VARS[$key] = $value;

}

}

}

}

 

 

Any help is welcome,

 

regards Matt

Try the following function instead:

// Get variables from $PATH_INFO

 if (SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS == 'true') {

   if (strlen($PATH_INFO) > 1) {

     $PHP_SELF = str_replace($PATH_INFO,'',$PHP_SELF);

     $vars = explode('/', substr($PATH_INFO, 1));

     while (list(, $var) = each($vars)) {

       list(, $val) = each($vars);

       $_GET[$var] = $val;

       $GLOBALS[$var] = $val;

     }

   }

 }

and let me know if that does not work better for you.

Doesn't work :(

 

Nothing get's returned anymore. Thanks for your tip (PM) regarding the spider contrib. I will have a deeper look.

 

Having a spider crash our server is not what we want, right? :wink:

 

Still, you are a genius!

Hi there,

 

solved it. This is the function that works for me ;-)

 

// set the HTTP GET parameters manually if search_engine_friendly_urls is enabled

 if (SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS == 'true') {

   if (strlen($PATH_INFO) > 1) {

     //$GET_array = array();

     //$PHP_SELF = str_replace($PATH_INFO, '', $PHP_SELF);

     $vars = explode('/', substr($PATH_INFO, 1));

     //$check = $vars[0] . ' ' . $vars[1] . ' ' . $vars[2];

     for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($vars); $i<$n; $i++) {

       $HTTP_GET_VARS[$vars[$i]] = $vars[$i+1];

       $GLOBALS[$vars[$i]] = $vars[$i+1];

     }

   }

 }

 

Regards Matt

 

PS: Please correct me, if there is something horribly wrong, but as I said it works.

Hi there,

 

I am sorry, but after some testing the function above seems to be not that good at all. After playing around a little more, I ended up with a very easy solution. I just added $GLOBALS[$vars[$i]] = $vars[$i+1]; to the original function.

 

Please check the whole function underneith.
