url中的textarea帖子值被＆=切断

Question

I have a textarea that submits its value to a php page onkeypress. the problem is, if you type a url like so into the textarea:

http://website.com/index.php?value=1&othervalue=2

the php page receiving the textarea data interprets &othervalue=2 to be the cutoff point for the text area as if othervalue=2 was another post variable it is supposed to receive. If this doesn't make sense I will try to explain it differently. Any ideas to get around this?????

Answer 1

1. That's GET data, not POST data.
2. If value is supposed to equal 1&othervalue=2 , you need to urlencode the ampersand, resulting in 1%26othervalue%3D2 .

Answer 2

I assume you're using ajax (since you're using onkeypress), make sure you always escape your data properly. See encodeURIComponent
