note 48316 added to function.urlencode

I think elqabbany missed the point of wrapping urlencode inside htmlentities. When you replace the $str in his code with something a little more likely to be on the query string of a URL, it makes more sense. Try running his same test using: $str="x=1&y=2"; You will see that it is the ampersand symbol itself that "breaks" the test. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48316 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48316&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48316&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48316&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48316&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48316&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48316&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48316&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
