Note Submitter: reisa@plinet.com ---- Newbie Notes: Despite it's name, URLENCODE and URLDECODE don't have to be used ONLY on URL's - you can use them to easily pass string variables, or variables that have more than one word. For example: I have a PHP script I use throughout my website that allows visitors to "rate" and send me a short "comment" about specific pages. The comment script automatically emails me any comments written. Instead of copying the code for the "comment" script onto each page, I call the script using an INCLUDE( ) command. Since it is important to me to know WHAT page on my website they are commenting on, I use a variable called $TITLE to tell me what page they sent the comment from! However, the title of the page is often more than one word! For example, one page has a title of "Be Wary of Scholarship Scams" So $TITLE="Be Wary of Scholarship Scams" Problem: When the comment script sends me (via email) a comment from a visitor to that page, it just says "TITLE= Be" It's not sending me the ENTIRE title. So on the included comment script I put the following code: $title=urlencode($title); In the actual script that sends me the comment, I put the following code: $title=urldecode($title); Problem solved :) Title now shows in the email as "TITLE= Be Wary of Scholarship Scams" To see the comment script in action, go to http://www.freschinfo.com/tipsscam.phtml Just send me email if you would like a copy of it!
