Re: PHP URL issues

You should use urlencode() on variables that will go into URL arguments. You might have a whitespace in any of those variables and the URL stops at the first whitespace. If those spaces are at the ends and are not significant, you might want to use trim(). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Don" <progwihz@yahoo.com> To: "PHP List" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 11:37 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP URL issues

I've just noticed that if am passing only one value it works fine, but when am passing in more than one none works. Why is that or what could be wrong ? e.g. this works echo "<b><a href='test.php?term=$letter_value'>$letter_value &nbsp;</a></b>"; on test.php i can display the value of term but with this echo "<b><a href='test.php?term=$letter_value&type=$type_value'>$letter_value &nbsp;</a></b>"; on test.php the values are empty.

PHP will replace var names with values only inside double qoutations.
