>> Hi Folks,

>> I still haven't 100% licked the spaces-in-field-names issue yet.  Now I

>> It appears that spaces in file names produces different behavior depending
>> whether the FMP query is a FIND parameter versus a SORT parameter.
>>
>> It boils down to this:
>>
>> FMP Field Definition:           Alpha Beta
>> Alpha Beta Field Value: John Smith
>> Browser POST:           Alpha_Beta (Apache Server replaces space with
>> underline)
>> FMP FIND URL:           Alpha+Beta (FX (?) replaces space with "+" in URL)
>> FMP SORT FIELD URL:     Alpha%20Beta  (FX (?) replaces space with "%20" in
>> URL)
>>
>> Here's an actual URL that shows the existence of both methods in the same
>> URL:
>>
>> http://Admin:Admin@000.000.000.000:80/fmi/xml/FMPXMLRESULT.xml?-db=DB.fp7&-lay=web&-max=50&-sortfield.1=Alpha%20Beta&-sortorder.1=ascend&Alpha+Beta=John+Smith&-find
>>
>> So...
>> The html form displays the field name with the space.
>> Apache POST  replaces the space with an underline.
>> FX/PHP replaces the space in a FIELD NAMEwith a "+"
>> FX/PHP replaces the space in a SORT NAMEwith a "%20"
>>
>>
>> Argh.
>>
>>
>> If this is correct, then a single remedy won't work.  A different remedy has
>> to be applied to SEARCH fields versus SORT fields.
>>
>> I did get suggestions last time I posted this problem, but each time I
>> applied the remedy, it broke the other half. Now I see why.
>>
>> Before I move forward....any comments?
