Question

I have two pages. First one we open with $_POST variables in its url, the second one opens inside first via iframe. Both php files, second is for html manipulation.

Variables I got in $_POST are passed to iframe via $_GET:

echo '<iframe src="index.php&first=' . $first . '&second=' . $second . '&third=' . $third . '&iframe=true"></iframe>';

$first, $second, $third variables has text inside them with some html and new lines (\n).

The problem is, when data is passed to iframe by $_GET, all the new lines in variables disappear.

Tryed to pass variables like base64_encode($first), and then decode them by base64_decode(). It works buggy, some parts of text don’t decode correctly, maybe because of bad symbols in iframe url.

Also tryed to throw all the variables into single array, serialize it and then encode by base64 – this way server gives error 500 (it also gives the same error for 404).

Please don’t ask me why I did such structure of pages. It should not be changed.

What is the solution for this?

Answer 1

What about an urlencode after the base64_encode?
