If you are in control of both ends, and have a common environment at both ends (or different env. which have standards of ...), then you can use a de/serialization library as well as encode/decode it to sit on the cgi (get/put...), advantage of this would be hiding, ability to present data that may mess up the url (i.e. =, &, ', ", etc), as well the libraries have your serialization and re-hydration to object all done for you, even for much more complex object then an array. To an extreme, you would pretty much just have to make a encodeToUrl( [object name], [encode method] ); on your formation of url, and MyObjectName myObj(decodeFromUrlArg(["arrayname"], [encode method]); But this could be over-kill for your needs (pulling a lib for this into your current setup). This also assumes reflection based language (java, .net....) or accompanying/annotated meta-data (c++). -tl On Sat, May 12, 2018 at 5:48 PM, William Park via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:
Hi all,
If I'm sending single valued data over web, eg. a=111, b=222, c=333, then I can do http://.../xxx.cgi?a=111&b=222&c=333
How do I send array data, like A[1]=111, A[2]=222, A[3]=333 to a CGI script? I don't think I can do something like http://.../xxx.cgi?A[1]=111&A[2]=222&A[3]=333 Or, can I?
I have seen a same variable repeated, http://.../xxx.cgi?A=111&A=222&A=333 but that means the CGI script has to build the array. -- William Park <opengeometry@yahoo.ca> --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
