Use join_qs with zero values

Passing a ‘0’ (zero) as an array $value to join_qs() results in the parameter not being added to the query string, since if ($v) returns false. Is join_qs() supposed to behave this way, i.e. is it designed only for non-zero values? If so, I’ll look elsewhere for a way of adding ?foo=0 to the qs.

Just trying to use TXP’s native functionality wherever possible now I’m getting a handle on what some of it does!

Re: Use join_qs with zero values

It’s intentional, I think. join_qs() is only used by pagelinkurl().
One of the parameters in the array fed to join_qs is the page number. When the page number is ‘0’, the pg parameter should be omitted from the pagelinkurl, that’s why join_qs behaves as it does.
It’s difficult to estimate how changing that behaviour would affect other parts of TXP and plugins, so I doubt this will be changed in 4.0.x. Probably best not to use this function for your own plugins.

Fair enough, makes sense. Thanks for the answer Ruud, I’ll steer clear.
