phpretard Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 $Name=Abuse%20Counseling%20&%20Treatment%20(ACT) THE LINK = "?page=secure&Spage=advocates/list&letter=all&loc=$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?

craygo Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 yes but make the name normal $Name = "$Name = "Abuse Counseling & Treatment (ACT)"; Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 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($name); ?> Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craygo Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Nice catch, I always get those 2 mixed up for some reason. O well. Just make sure you use urlencode($Name) not urlencode($name) Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
