problem capturing value with %

[tony007]

Hi all . i have a javascript that makes get request as shown:

localhost/test.php?cmd=visitorRepCommand&params=visitorTyping%201&site=2020202&sessionkey=1abbcad8b561c84f7502793f1953a37f&d=1178974427466

I wrote a php script that checks if value of params is visitorTyping%201 or visitorTyping%200.But problem is that both of my if statments fails to catch those value.could any one tell me what i am doing wrong here. i checked everything i see the values are passed corectly but it seem i am not checkinng those values corectly!!Thanks

<?
$cmd   = $_GET['cmd'];
$params   = $_GET['params'];
....
else if ($cmd=="visitorRepCommand" && $params=="visitorTyping%200")
{
   echo "test1";
}
else if ($cmd=="visitorRepCommand" && $params=="visitorTyping%201")
{
    echo "test2";
}

?>

%20 is the URL-encoded form of a space character. PHP automatically URL-decodes HTTP parameters, so 'visitorTyping$201' comes out as 'visitorTyping 1'.

thanks for you reply. Now i tried to do this but my query never writes to db!! could you tell me what might be wrong here?

else if ($cmd=="visitorRepCommand" && $params=="visitorTyping 0")
{

$server   = "localhost"; // MySQL hostname
$username = "root"; // MySQL username
$password = "root"; // MySQL password
$dbname   = "db"; // MySQL db name

$db = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password) or die(mysql_error());
      mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());

   
   $query = "INSERT INTO userTypingStatus(`ID`, `cmd`, `params`, `site`, `sessionkey`) VALUES ('$ID','$cmd','$params','$site', '$sessionkey')";
        
     $fp = fopen("userTypingStatus.txt", "w");
       fwrite($fp, $query);
       fclose($fp);      
       $result = mysql_query( $query );

echo "test1";
} 

my log file shows this but when i check db nothing is there!!

INSERT INTO userTypingStatus(`ID`, `cmd`, `params`, `site`, `sessionkey`) VALUES ('','visitorRepCommand','visitorTyping 0','7878765', '1abbcad8b561c84f7502793f1953a37f')

add some error checking for the mysql_query() call.

mysql_query($query) or die('error: ' . mysql_error()); 

see what the problem is. mistyped field name, bad field type or size? strict sql mode on, maybe?
