And ? .

Is that a mathematical equation from last night's Open University?

Looks like a variation of the ? : operator used in languages derived from C.
I wouldn't put it past Krusty to try to pervert PHP to fit his semi-literate
grasp on English.


?dom=***&crap=his&lol=website

Despite what some people on here might like to think - the above is
quite valid and could be used .

Lets break down the component parts .

?dom=***
&crap=his
&lol=website

This is really little more than simply passing text information from one
webpage to another .

? &

The "&" is used if you want to pass more than one piece of information
and while 2 are used in this example you could use as many as you want .

The following php code would be on the next webpage .

$davina=$_REQUEST['dom'];
$murphy=$_REQUEST['crap'];
$nologo=$_REQUEST['lol'];

Note how only some parts are used .

This is because one part is a variable name and its the variable that
holds and stores the information when passed .

In laymans terms - the following would be the result .

$davina="***";
$murphy="his";
$nologo="website";

As these variables now contain the passed information - you can now use
these variables for a variety of things .

The most common use of course is to display the text contents of the
variable on the actual webpage .

<?php print "Dom is a $davina and $murphy $nologo is utter *** ."; ?>

Thats what the php source code would look like .

Dom is a *** and his website is utter *** .

Thats what the text display on the webpage would look like .


For users who dont have php enabled webspace - then you can download and
install something like XAMPP if you must .

Thats all folks .
