Sending Strings Through Urlencode

[satishssrc]

Hey all,

I am using the data url method of fusion charts to drill down into my chart.

It has been working for the following:

$strlink =urlencode("javaScript:updateProductChart1(".$ors['year2007'].",".$daterange1.",".$date.",".$RegionNumber.",".$Category.");");

 

in this code all parameters I am sending are numerical values. But I want to send a string for eg:

$var = "this is test";

 

$strlink =urlencode("javaScript:updateProductChart1(".$ors['year2007'].",".$daterange1.",".$date.",".$RegionNumber.",".$Category.",".$var.");");

 

can you tell me how to this. My java script function updateProductChart1 is not invoked if I have a string being sent. I need your help guys!!!

 

thank you,

satish

Hi,

 

please enclose the string with HTML encoded form of single or double quotes.

 

Please enclose the string with ' or "

Hi Sudipto Choudhury,

 

Is this what you meant.

$strlink =urlencode("javaScript:updateProductChart1(".$ors['year2007'].",".$daterange1." ,".$date.",".$RegionNumber.",".$Category.","&"$var"&");" );

Hi Satish,

 

A bit different:

 

$strlink =("javaScript:updateProductChart1(".$ors['year2007'].",".$daterange1." ,".$date.",".$RegionNumber.",".$Category.", '".$var."');" );

 

You do not need to URLEncode if you are using FusionCharts v3.2.

 

In case you are using version earlier to v3.2 and you are using dataXML method, you need to use URLEncode.

Hey Sudipto ,

I am not sure what you mean by

$strlink =("javaScript:updateProductChart1(".$ors['year2007'].",".$daterange1." ,".$date.",".$RegionNumber.",".$Category.", '".$var."');" );

 

what is ''' and "&quot' you want me to directly key it in the link and call the $strlink in the addChartdata(array,$strlink) ?

It gives me an Invalid XML and my chart is not generated to drill down...

 

What should I do?

 

Thanks,

Hi Satish,

 

If you want to send C-24 as a string you have to put it inside quotation $var = "C-24"; and than send it to the function.

Hey all,

Well I am not able to figure out where I am going wrong

 

$strlink =("javaScript:updateProductChart1(".$ors['year2007'].",".$daterange1." ,".$date.",".$RegionNumber.",".$Category.", '".$var."');" );

seems to be working $var ="this is test";

but wont work if my $var changes to $var = "C-24";

 

I don't know why? The value in $var keeps changing depending on the option selected by the user.

Please help...I need it real quick..

 

Thanks
