problems with $_GET['']

[phpretard]

$Name=Abuse%20Counseling%20&%20Treatment%20(ACT)

 

THE LINK = "?page=secure&Spage=advocates/list&letter=all&loc=$TaxID&Name=$Name"

 

When I echo it stops at the "&" (suprisingly the %20 is ignored)

 

ie. Abuse Counseling is the echo.

 

I need It to echo = Abuse Counseling & Treatment (ACT).

 

I know the "&" is causing the problem I just don't know how to fix it.

 

Any help?

"?page=secure&Spage=advocates/list&letter=all&loc=$TaxID&Name=".htmlspecialchars($Name)."'

 

Like This?

yes but make the name normal

$Name = "$Name = "Abuse Counseling & Treatment (ACT)";

No, you want to use the urlencode() function.  The problem is that the "&" is a delimiter on the URL.

 

Do something like:

<?php
$Name='Abuse Counseling & Treatment (ACT)';
$link = '?page=secure&Spage=advocates/list&letter=all&loc=$TaxID&Name=' . urlencode($name);
?>

Nice catch, I always get those 2 mixed up for some reason. O well. Just make sure you use urlencode($Name) not urlencode($name)
