I've a URL which becomes a query string with the http_build_query function.
But I have a parametertimestamp which I cannot edit. And × becomes a multiplication sign x.
Is there a workaround for this?
This is my array which gets passed to the http_build_query function.
$parameters = array(
"transaction_id"=>uniqid("FF-"),
"timestamp"=> time(),
"order_total"=>$_SESSION['total_price'],
"order_total_with_vat"=>$_SESSION['total_price'] * 1.21,
"order_vat"=>"21",
"payment_method"=>"ideal",
"payment_status"=>"1",
"customer_name"=>$_SESSION['customer_data']['naam'],
"customer_address"=>$_SESSION['customer_data']['address'],
"customer_city"=>$_SESSION['customer_data']['city'],
"customer_zipcode"=>$_SESSION['customer_data']['zipcode'],
"customer_country"=>$_SESSION['customer_data']['country'],
"customer_email"=>$_SESSION['customer_data']['email'],
"customer_telephone"=>$_SESSION['customer_data']['telephone'],
);
Output of url:
http://somedomain/subdir/someapi/order?transaction_id=FF-58e2451c5aea9×tamp=1491223836&order_total=156695&order_total_with_vat=189600.95&order_vat=21&payment_method=ideal&payment_status=1&customer_name=t&customer_address=t&customer_city=t&customer_zipcode=t&customer_country=t&customer_email=t%40t&customer_telephone=t&product%5B0%5D=5&product%5B1%5D=5&product%5B2%5D=5&product%5B3%5D=5&product%5B4%5D=5&product%5B5%5D=5&product%5B6%5D=5
Preffered output:
http://somedomain/subdir/someapi/order?transaction_id=FF-58e2451c5aea9×tamp=1491223836&order_total=156695&order_total_with_vat=189600.95&order_vat=21&payment_method=ideal&payment_status=1&customer_name=t&customer_address=t&customer_city=t&customer_zipcode=t&customer_country=t&customer_email=t%40t&customer_telephone=t&product%5B0%5D=5&product%5B1%5D=5&product%5B2%5D=5&product%5B3%5D=5&product%5B4%5D=5&product%5B5%5D=5&product%5B6%5D=5
http_build_query function:
case 'POST':
curl_setopt( $curlHandler, CURLOPT_POST, true );
$url .= '?' . http_build_query( $parameters );
break;
Currently it is working correctly. The issue is that when you echo your URL the sequence × will make your browser replace it with the multiplication symbol x. To echo it and show the correct way in the browser try this:
echo htmlspecialchars($url);
This will display the desired URL.
@Novice was right, he commented on my question:
It's just a display issue in browser but your curl data will go just like what you have shown in your preffered output , no need to add anything extra just hit and go! – Novice
When I checked the apache access.log I could see the preffered query string posted.
