Re: Need to Encode data for POST or GET

Rita, if you require the CGI module in your program, there's 2 subroutines in it that'll help you url encode/decode (escape and unescape).
If you'd rather not load CGI.pm into your program, then you could just use the following 2 subroutines, taken from CGI.pm:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans serif">code:</font><HR>
# unescape URL-encoded data
sub unescape {
shift if ref($_[0]);
my $todecode = shift;
return undef unless defined($todecode);
$todecode =~ tr/+/ /; # pluses become spaces
$todecode =~ s/%([0-9a-fA-F]{2})/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
return $todecode;
}
# URL-encode data
sub escape {
shift if ref($_[0]) | | $_[0] eq $DefaultClass;
my $toencode = shift;
return undef unless defined($toencode);
$toencode=~s/([^a-zA-Z0-9_.-])/uc sprintf("%%%02x",ord($1))/eg;
return $toencode;
}
</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
2) I'm confused. Are you referring to just passing data, or being able to, let's say, bookmark a page after data has been passed through POST. The latter won't work. The former can have data passed via html's <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN VALUE="whatever"> tag. If I didn't answer your question, could you please elaborate a little?
Good luck!
