The e-mail is provided by the user; it's dangerous to simply use it blindly - what if it contains a "/" or "?" or "#" character somewhere? I think that it's better to send the e-mail in a query string, in the URL-encoded format (consider using the "quote" function from the "urllib" standard library to escape the e-mail string). On the other side, you retrieve the e-mail in the "thanks" function, from the "request" object. > Also, is the ?P a regular expression and is <> a python way of > embedding variables? Kind of... The "?P<>" syntax gives a name to the matched group of characteres (that is enclosed by the parantheses), so you (and the Django URL handler) can access it by name. Take a look at the documentation of the "re" python module for more examples and a more accurate description. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
