If it already has a count for a given character, get returns it (so it's just incremented by one), else get returns 0 (so the incrementing correctly gives 1 at a character's first occurrence in the string). If so, how should i then do it In that example the string postdata is sent to a webserver Therefore,unless you could keep your data structure simple, i urge you adopt a data transfer framework If your requests are browser based, the industry usual practice is json. What your snippet of code is doing is saying, get the value of a get variable with name 'page', and if it doesn't exist, return 1
Likewise, you will see request.post used when a user submits a form. How to get get variables from request in javascript From what i can gather, there are three categories Never use get and use post never use post and use get it doesn't matter which one you use Am i correct in assuming those three cases Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again
