Question about cache file name using $_SERVER['argv']

The outputs are as such
$fname = 06ed1ec76d691a0ffcdedd1953104501.ft

Before Md5
$FName .= join( "_and_", $q );

preMd5 = /testing/fastdemo/iscripts_test1.php?ID=3&myid=sys temID=3&myid=system

print_r of $_SERVER['argv'] = Array ( [0] => ID=3&myid=system )

This seems strange since $_SERVER['argv'] contains the same vars in [0] however I'm not sure how $_SERVER['argv'] would produce more arrays, there very little information that I could find.

Does $_SERVER['argv'] combine post vars and get vars how would it ever have multiple vars like
[0] ID=3&myid=system
[1] some other vars
[2] somemore vars

If $_SERVER['argv'] does also include posted or some other information from where ever then shouldn't
IF ( count( $_SERVER['argv'] ) )

BE this way
IF ( count( $_SERVER['argv'] ) > 1 )

self_script function will be changed so this part
$fname = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if (count($_SERVER['argv'])) {
foreach ($_SERVER['argv'] as $val) {
$q[] = $val;
}
$fname .= join("_and_", $q);
}

is no longer valid.
There are servers where $_SERVER['argv'] is not allowed so it will be better I guess
$fname = md5(getenv('SCRIPT_NAME').str_replace("&","_and_", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']));
like this

Just a question why bother with the string replace in th query string, why not just do it simply?

IF ( isSet( $_SERVER ) ) {
$fname = md5( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
OR
$fname = md5( $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] );
}ELSE{
$fname = md5( getenv('SCRIPT_NAME') . getenv['QUERY_STRING'] );
}

This seems like it would be easier ?? I've never known any problems with md5 having issues with &

Here is my test results and code

ERROR: ( GET = /testing/fast_tpl/orgingal/cache_ex.php ?? ID=3333&ar=abc&dd=hello%20world ) -- ( SERVER = /testing/fast_tpl/orgingal/cache_ex.php ?? ID=3333&ar=abc&dd=hello%20world ) -- ( Fname = 3b241b4298942e43a8c44677cc56891d )
ERROR: ( GET = /testing/fast_tpl/orgingal/cache_ex.php ?? ID=3333&ar=abc&dd=hello%20world ) -- ( SERVER = /testing/fast_tpl/orgingal/cache_ex.php ?? ID=3333&ar=abc&dd=hello%20world ) -- ( Fname = 3b241b4298942e43a8c44677cc56891d )

The code I used was as follows:

IF ( isSet( $_SERVER ) ) {
//$fname = md5( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
//OR
$fname = md5( $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . trim( $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] ) );
}ELSE{
$fname = md5( getenv('SCRIPT_NAME') . trim( getenv('QUERY_STRING') ) );
}
$T1 = "GET = " . getenv('SCRIPT_NAME') ." ?? ". trim( getenv('QUERY_STRING') );
$T2 = "SERVER = " . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . " ?? " . trim( $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] );
$T3 = "Fname = " . $fname;
$this->error(" ( $T1 ) -- ( $T2 ) -- ( $T3 )", 0 );

The above code I used to replace the following code.

IF ( count( $_SERVER['argv'] ) > 1 ) { //WAS? IF ( count( $_SERVER['argv'] ) ) {
FOREACH ( $_SERVER['argv'] AS $val) {
$q[] = $val;
}

$fname .= join("_and_", $q);
}

seems to work and can't think of any reason to continue using the _and_ replacement unless you know a good reason??

Oh...by the way....Fast template is very nice....thanks for keeping it going!!!! I like it much much better than smarty which is a hog, slow and way too complicated

Hope this is useful

It's no use of md5 either if we are looking at this from certain angleIt's no use of md5 either if we are looking at this from certain angle.
If you use md5 there should be no problem with or without _and_ but
if you want to dump md5 ( for different reasons), this replace is important.
In linux gives strange results if you use & in file names.

Th ;) We are all doing it ;)
That includes you so it's helpful.
