RE: [PHP] framing search results

Thanks for your help on this! Because the links that are on the HTML pages won't be determined by myself (and won't be encoded), I need to encode them when they are read by the script. All that I do is put the call to the php script onto the link. So what I tried to do is plugged the code below urlencode($url) right into the frame call itself. <frame name="textarea" src="<? echo $url=urlencode($url); ?>"> But of course that doesn't work because I'm still running into the 404 error. Can I encode the $url taken in from the browser then decode it in the output? Since I can't store the links in the script or in a database, the url won't be encoded. It works just fine if I link to ... frame.php?x=frame&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mls.ca%2Fbin%2Furllink.exe%3Freq%3Dre altor%26x_aid%3D11111%26x_bid%3d0 but not frame.php?x=frame&url=http://www.mls.ca/bin/urllink.exe?req=realtor&x_aid=11 111&x_bid=0 Is there any way around this?
