3 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoHelp with PHP data types?
Hi,
I'm trying to use the value of a GET request variable in PHP. I am using $_GET['varname'] which I need to return a string. However, when I use it, like in echo $_GET['varname']; it prints nothing (sometimes a space).
I can print it using print_r($_GET['varname']); but I am not wanting to simply print it, as I am wanting to use the values in a sql funtion. I have tried array_reduce(), which says that it requires $_GET['varname'] to be an array. What do I need to do to convert it to a normal string?
Heartfelt thanks in advance

1 AnswerProgramming & Design1 decade agoSerial Port to Parralel Port?
I want to build a electronic circut to control 8 (or so) LED's. I tried to do it using parralel port, but for some reson it did not work. So now I am trying to do it using serial port.
