Urlencode Giving Incorrect Url

[Solarpitch]

Hey Guys,

 

I'm retrieving a name from a POST and using urlencode() but it seems to be giving an incorrect url.

 

...
$sourceName = $_POST['val']; // echos here as " Conor Maynard  "
echo $url = "http://www.site.com/api/artist/details?aname=".urlencode($sourceName)."&id=mymHPtI3wp&format=xml";

 

The output is:

http://www.site.com/api/artist/details?aname=%0A++++++Conor+Maynard%0A++++&id=mymHPtI3wp&format=xml

 

If I just do $soureName = "Conor Maynard"; as hardcoded it works fine, but doesnt seem to like the value when assigned from the POST.

The white space was an issue. Works when I do:

 

urlencode(trim($sourceId))

 

Sojust needed to trim that off.
