On the contrary you want to use urlencode(), this is done on the *value* of the individual parameters. And about this: $_POST["Ind[]"], it's obvious you haven't absorbed what I said about this particular construct. Please re-read my previous post regarding this and try to understand it. > Or should I do a $_GET['Ind'] = urlencode('Ind') on > searchresults.php ? If the URL on the searchpage was constructed properly then on searchresults.php the values passed can be read from $_GET directly with no further processing (ie no need for urldecode() and other such nonsese) on your part. But remember, you still need to validate the data you get from $_GET (and in general from $_POST etc) before you use them. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* Unix soit qui mal y pense [Unix to him who evil thinks?] */
