Re: [Apc-aa-coders] slice.php3 - leading x's

[Honza M. <hon...@ec...>]

leading 'x' is used for slices.php3 url parameter items[ids], where ids
are long ids plus added leading 'x' - just like:

items[x5462876e8ab29ac95462876e8ab29ac9]=1&items[x65ac876e8a555b29543ea76e8ab29a34]=1

the leading x is necessary for php in order it interprets index as
string and not number.

The usage of items[] parameter you can see on:

http://ecomonitor.cz/clanky.shtml?conds%5B1%5D%5Bpublish_date....%5D=1&conds%5B1%5D%5Bvalue%5D=1%2F20%2F2002&conds%5B1%5D%5Boperator%5D=d%3A%3E%3D

The format string for the display is something like:

<input type="checkbox" name="items[x_#ITEM_ID#]">_#PUB_DATE - 
<b><a href=_#HDLN_URL>_#SOURCE##: _#HEADLINE</a></b><br>

I updated FAQ to be more clear for items[ids] parameter:
