RE: [PHP] Strings with Spaces in URLS

$search= urlencode ($search); urlencode - have a look on the php site. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Aitken [mailto:chris@ideal.net.au] Sent: August 22, 2001 9:05 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Strings with Spaces in URLS I have come up with a bit of a problem.... I have a little funky search form on a page, and when I send the search data on as a URL, anything with a space is screwed up.... example $search = "This is a test"; echo "<a href=http://www.blah.com/foo.php?search=$search>"; and when the link is clicked (or even when the mouse is put over the link), the URL in the browser is - http://www.blah.com/foo.php?search=This leaving out all words after the first space. If I simply throw the while thing using the following header statement header("Location: http://www.blah.com/foo.php?search=$search"); then it brings it up properly in the browser. Any suggestions ?
