php script does not work as autoadmin.global_config_url
hello, in mozilla.cfg i specify (local apache server is running): pref("autoadmin.global_config_url", "http://localhost/php/auto.php?u=1");
and auto.php looks something like this (just an example):
as a result i obtain the message added as image. mostly you find that people use a javascript file for "autoadmin.global_config_url", but i know of others who use a php-file. Does someone have an idea what i am doing wrong? some setting in config? thank you very much!

Okay, you cannot add parameters to the URL directly; the URL is truncated at the question mark. Please see the following articles for a workaround:

i add the script once more as an image.
the images are poor, i am sorry. don't know how to upload them with higher resolution.
First, is PHP running on localhost? What if you load that URL in a Firefox tab -- what does the response look like? If PHP is not running, you would expect right-click > View Page Info to show "text/plain" as the content type.
Second, if PHP is running, you might see the content type "text/html". To resolve that, specify a JavaScript content-type. For example:
<?php header('Content-Type: application/x-javascript; charset=utf-8'); $uid = $_GET["u"]; if ($uid == "1"){ echo 'pref("browser.startup.page", 1)'; } else { echo 'pref("browser.startup.page", 0)'; }; ?>
By the way, you need to use the HTML entity < in place of < to prevent the forum from eating your code.
i think i found out that the line $uid = $_GET["u"]; is the problem. If instead i say $uid = 1; it works. but how can this be? looks as if 'he' interprets some character as '<' .. how can i read the url-search part?

Hi carpinus, is Firefox not passing the query string on the URL? If you echo the entire query string, is it there?
hi, sorry but i do not know how to ... if i code in auto.php < ?php $que = $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]; echo $que; and in the location bar i enter localhost/php/auto.php?u=a .. then 'u=a' will appear. fine. but echo does not work the same when the containing script is called on firefox startup may be there is a way to echo to console or to some error log entering the sript on the urlbar with ff already running also $_GET() works fine.
just tried the following in auto.php:
<?php $fp = fopen("messages.txt","w"); $que = $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]; fwrite($fp, $que); $req = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; fwrite($fp, $req); fclose($fp);
and a file messages.txt appears, but it only contains the URI, without the search string

yet .., $_GET() still doesnt work, strange
thank you for your information! should have come across that myself ..
would you like to have a look at my other question (1130736)? (from the fact that a refresh resolves the problem i conclude that places.sqlite is not damaged in my case)

I have unmarked the solution that makes it more likely jscher2000 will see your additional post. You may mark is as solved again if appropriate as soon as he posts back.

I looked at the other thread and didn't really have any new ideas.
