I have a pagination-instance where I want to append all query parameter from the request to the next_page_url attribute.
I have query parameter with a value like &name=chris but I also have single parameter without a value like &xyz.
However, when I append all query parameters to the pagination instance, like so:
$query->simplePaginate(50)->appends($request->all());
only parameters with a value are getting appended.
How can I append all parameters to the next_page_url?
Update
I want to append query parameters to get the next chunk of requested data.
If I don't, it always gives back "next_page_url":"http://vue.dev/contacts?page=2". What I want is "next_page_url":"http://vue.dev/contacts?name&page=2"
Take URL http://vue.dev/contacts?page=2&name for example. Although perfectly valid, it's still quite ambiguous. Do we mean to include name? Do we mean to exclude name?
So I'd suggest you to use this URL instead http://vue.dev/contacts?page=2&select=name. If you decide to select more stuff you can just do http://vue.dev/contacts?page=2&select=name,age,gender.
Later in your code just use explode to use the value as an array:
$attributes = explode(',', $request->select);

Even though Fahmis solution is possible as well, I end up using the approach from this so-question. This has the advantage that php reads the parameter as an array automatically. My url end up looking like this:
http://vue.dev/contacts?page=2&select[]=xyz&select[]=abc

I have bellow URL and storing in one variable which is $currentURL.
$currentURL = http://localhost/example/villa-search/page/2/?features=Beachfront%2CCook%20Services%2CGarden%2CPrivate%20Pool%2CSea%20View
Now I want to break URL in to section and store in two different variables
First Part is:
http://localhost/example/villa-search
second Part is:
/page/2/?features=Beachfront%2CCook%20Services%2CGarden%2CPrivate%20Pool%2CSea%20View
How to make this possible?
You could use PHP's parse_url() and get components from it and re-construct your desired format from it.
And then use explode() the query part obtained from parse_url().
In one of the cakePHP framework's view, I take the parameters given by a user and make an action call. Here is how it looks like:
echo $this->Html->link(__('Save as PDF'),array('action'=>'view_as_pdf',$_POST['data']['Event']['employee'],$_POST['data']['Event']['project'],$_POST['data']['Event']['from'],$_POST['data']['Event']['to'],'ext' => 'pdf'));
The problem appears when *$_POST['data']['Event']['employee']* or *$_POST['data']['Event']['project']* project is not provided.
That makes a proper url like:
pdf.com/action/16/77/2014-01-01/2014-01-15
Look like:
pdf.com/action/16/2014-01-01/2014-01-15
What I would like it to look is something like:
pdf.com/action/16/null/2014-01-01/2014-01-15
Replace the items in your array passed into the link method with ternary operator and check the values. Essentially, you need to set a default value if the POSTed value is not set/empty/what-have-you.
You could do something like this:
empty($_POST['data']['Event']['project']) ? 'null' : $_POST['data']['Event']['project']
You need to pass a string of null in order for it to be passed as 'null'. Likely, the underlying code for that link method ignores empty parameters.
Doing it this way will give you the pdf.com/action/16/null/2014-01-01/2014-01-15 url you are looking to achieve.
I am having following url,
www.example.com/index.php?r=recommend/create&id=184?
title=Ruins%20of%20Mahabalipuram
&url=http://localhost/index.php/mediadetail/index/184
I need to get title and url which are query string parameters.
Has anyone worked on getting values in query string in Yii?
There is also the getParam() method in CHttpRequest.
Yii::app()->request->getParam('title')
I've found it a valuable shortcut, since it checks both $_POST and $_GET and gives priority to $_GET, so you can use it to override post variables in the address URL. It also performs null checks and you can provide a default value in the second parameter.
The drawbacks are that you can't use it for arrays and maybe it's a little bit verbose (compared to $_GET['title']).
Look the function parse_str, it would worked and if not, look parse_url but it's not necessary for what you want to do.
They'll automatically be available in your action as $_GET variables. Yii handles parsing them for you as part of the CHttpRequest object
I'm trying to put a script together for a client that needs to be able to accept a web address in a query string without it first being urlencoded. An example would be like this:
http://foo.com/script.php?url=www.amazon.co.uk/ESET-Smart-Security-User-Year/dp/B005NPFOBM/ref=sr_1_1?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1341685530&sr=1-1
However, when I echo out the contents of $_GET['url'] it gives me the following:
www.amazon.co.uk/ESET-Smart-Security-User-Year/dp/B005NPFOBM/ref=sr_1_1?s=software
So basically it seems to choke on the first ampersand - i'm guessing because it thinks that its another variable.
Aside form urlencoding, are there any tricks to getting this working? I could probably POST it from a form, but this defeats the idea of the script.
For this specific use case, you should use $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] instead. This will give you the full query string in one go, you can then split it yourself.
In your example, PHP is assuming that the & is the delimiter for the next GET variable.
you could ask the query parameters, and add them to the URL you received. List the remaining parameters in $_GET in the proper order, and add them add the end of $_GET['url'].
$_GET['url']
+ '&ie=' + $_GET['ie']
+ '&qid=' + $_GET['qid']
+ '&sr=' + $_GET['sr']
Be careful that you might get an extra parameter url someday.
http://foo.com/script.php?url=www.amazon.co.uk/ESET-Smart-Security-User-Year/dp/B005NPFOBM/ref=sr_1_1?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1341685530&sr=1-1&url=http://someAmazoneStuff
With this Symfony page, I am passing $_GET parameters in the URI like this:
http://www.mysite.com/article?page=4&sort=1
Once in my layout, there are certain links in the page that need to have the same query string in them.
Anyways, using Symfony's url_for() command I'm making URLs like so:
$url = url_for('article/index?.http_build_query($_GET));
That way it makes a new url using the $_GET variables. For some of the links I'm changing the $_GET values ahead of time, like $_GET['sort']=0; before generating the url. That's why I'm using this method.
Anyways, when I look at the generated URL, it now looks like this:
http://www.mysite.com/article?page=4&%3Bsort=1
The &%3B is the encoded form of & which is just an & character.
So the problem is that when I check for my $_GET parameters in my controller now, there is no longer a sort parameter that is passed. It's now called &%3Bsort... It's causing all sorts of issues.
Two questions:
How do I avoid this problem? Can I decode the $_GET parameter key values in my controller or something?
Why is symfony encoding a & character in the first place? It's a perfectly acceptable URI character. Heck, even the encoded value, &%3B contains a & !!!
I believe, it is because of output escaping is ON in your application. As a result, $_GET array is wrapped inside sfOutputEscaperArrayDecorator class. You can get a raw value using this: $_GET->getRawValue().
$url = url_for('article/index?.http_build_query($_GET->getRawValue()))
Or you can decode the result query using sfOutputEscaper::unescape
$url = url_for('article/index?.sfOutputEscaper::unescape(http_build_query($_GET)));
Hope this will be useful.
Best if you use Symfony's own method for getting the request parameters. For example, in templates, use:
$sf_request->getParameter('some_param');
If you must use $_GET, maybe try:
((( $sf_data->getRaw('_GET') )))
... to get past the output escaping. Not totally sure if that'll work as is.
