How can I Post 2 variables at the same time

Hey guys! I've spent my whole last night with scrawling around the forum, and didn't find a solution yet.

I need a login system for my game. I've downloaded the Ajax_post plugin, got it working, but I've got a problem with it. I can't find the right syntax to post more than one variable at the same time.

For example:

POST:"var1="&user.texbox.Text&"var2="&pass.textbox.Text"

"var1=1&var2=2"

You are right you need to format it like var1=1&var2=2. The problem is it can be confusing mixing up & that means "add these strings together" and & which is part of an actual string.

This expression:

"var1=" & user.texbox.Text & "var2=" & pass.textbox.Text

will result in a string like this:

"var1=usertextvar2=passtext"

Note the missing & because all your & mean "add strings".

This should fix it:

"var1=" & user.texbox.Text & "&var2=" & pass.textbox.Text

Note the & inside a string meaning it is literally included in the text rather than adding strings together.

Edit: just to clarify, don't use this for anything remotely serious! I know you know, but I just want to make sure I say it, because this is incredibly insecure :)

Ashley,

In your example "var1=" & user.texbox.Text & "&var2=" & pass.textbox.Text

Will the spacing after the & symbols effect the strings and the ajax data sent to the php page?

For example is "http://localhost/login.php?var1=" & user.texbox.Text & "&var2=" & pass.textbox.Text

the correct format?

Or is "http://localhost/login.php?var1="&user.texbox.Text & "&var2=" &pass.textbox.Text

the correct format?

levela, if Post variables via AJAX you must create a string that will look like "var1%var2" or any other character that won't be in contained by your variables, I often use * or ^, to create this string you can use: var1 & "*" & var2. In the postpack script(i suppose taht you use PHP), you must use the

$string = $_POST['AJAX_TAG'] method to get the string and then :

$anything = explode('*',$string) (that will create an array with your variables)

$anything[0] = your first variable,

$anything[1] = your second variable,

if you need any help dont be afraid to ask. xD
