Re: GET method... screwups

See... thats just it, the url string gets screwed up because some of those weird characters are normally used in get statements.. like & for instance so if a variable 'blah' equalled 'free&b' then the get statement would be phpscript.php?blah=free&b and it would assume that b is the name of another variable. It gets screwed up before it gets to the PHP...
