Re: passing an array in a link

Bas, et al -- ..and then Bas Jobsen said... % % print "<a href=\"/myscript.php?keylist=".str_replace(" % ","+",implode("+",$keylist))."\">link</a>" ; I tried this and my link the looks like Click <a href="testme.php?a+b b b+c">here</a> to go round again<br> (that is, not only have I not taken care of the spaces but I now also lose the fact that these are part of $keylist). The entire little script is attached. You can see various means of printing the array. I *have* found that I can construct a link like testme.php?keylist[]=a&keylist[]=b& ... so that takes care of walking the array but now I need to protect myself from the spaces. I've looked at htmlentities() but it doesn't seem to convert spaces...
