[RESOLVED] Passing a variable

[holyearth]

Pretend this is a url I'm loading:

http://www.example.com/index.php?first=dog&second=donkey+goat

In index.php (referenced above), I have:

$first = $HTTP_GET_VARS['first'];
$second = $HTTP_GET_VARS['second'];

So,
first spits out: dog
second spits out: Donkey Goat

I want the second to spit out Donkey%20Goat    -OR-  Donkey+Goat

In other words, I want it to spit out the LITERAL value of the passed variable.

Thanks for your time.

Fert,

Thanks!

urlencode($HTTP_GET_VARS['second']);

That did it :-)
