Multiple GET or POST variables 404's wordpress pages (numeric permalinks)

Question

I am developing a live-action tag game (called DeTag) that uses a web interface for reporting kills. When a user wants to report a tag they go to a page to confirm who and when they tagged, then actually "kill" them (called pre-tag.php and tag.php respectively). However in trying both POST and GET data for the three variables I need (userID, tag hour and tag minute,) the page 404's. Here is the URL that I am using:

.../detag/kill?targetID=xxxxxxx&hour=XX&minute=XX

That will cause Wordpress (2.1.7) to 404. Tried using both POST and GET data. However, when I use this link (with only one GET variable):

.../detag/kill?targetID=xxxxxxx

It works...Of course, it doesn't push the time, but it goes through. Is there something in PHP and/or Wordpress that would create this situation?

If you need more code, please let me know.

I am using the runphp plugin to run php code on the Wordpress pages. Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi,

You'd better use somethink like this :

.../detag/kill?targetID=xxxxxxx[]hour=XX[]minute=XX

And in php, use explode function to get the parameters.

Our problem was with the type of permalinks we had enabled in WordPress. We changed to the combination enabled links and used semicolons as our variable delimiter.
