RE: [PHP-DB] need help guys

Can you send us the full script?? Why can't you just do a submit??? The problem is the ampersand (&) in the middle. This is a place marker which marks the start of the next variable in the query string. If you absolutely *HAVE* to submit the data this way, you'll need to convert it to the escape %26 So that it passes the correct value: http://localhost/auction/seller/additems.php?category=Antiques%20%26%20Arts HTH, Richy ========================================== Richard Black Systems Programmer, DataVisibility Ltd - http://www.datavisibility.com Tel: 0141 435 3504 Email: rblack@datavisibility.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: its me [mailto:fotna@egypt.net] Sent: 14 March 2002 11:21 To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] need help guys i have this <select name=category> <option value='Arts'>Antiques & Arts</option> then i pass this to next page: <script> c=document.forms[0].category.options[document.forms[0].category.selectedInde x].text location.href="additems.php?category="+c </script in url it shows like this: http://localhost/auction/seller/additems.php?category=Antiques%20&%20Arts but in additems.php when i say echo $category it give me only Anticues !!!!
