PHP Process CGI - Request
When passing CGI variables via the GET method, the special array $_GET[] can be used to access the values as shown in the example code below:
This code is invoked by the following URL where the value of 'select' can be altered:
http://puzzle.sci.csueastbay.edu/~grewe/PHP/ProcessGetRequest.php?select=bye
NOTE: Post requests can be processed similarly using the $_POST[] array to access the data. E.g.
<?php
echo 'Hello ' . htmlspecialchars($_POST["name"]) . '!';
?>
ProcessGetRequest.php code:
<?php
//program called with different options set via the select parameter $option = $_GET['select'];
printf("option is ".$option."<br>"); //Option can be to request a request_token or access_token or access_token // with option specifying the token_secret if($option == "hello") { echo 'hello'; } else if($option == "bye") { echo 'bye'; } else { echo 'unknown request'; }
?>
