Passing variables via URL

[ainoy31]

Here is my scenario:

 

I am passing my variables via the URL from page to page.  This is base on dealing with Authorize.Net.  However, here is my question.

 

Can I do the following:

 

$x = $_REQUEST['amount']; and then pass the $x via the url to another page like https://xxx.com/natHealing/view_gift.php?x

 

Much appreciation

<?php
//$x = $_REQUEST['amount']; and then pass the $x via the url to another page like https://xxx.com/natHealing/view_gift.php?x

$x = $_REQUEST['amount'];
$url = "http://www.site.com/page.php?x=" . url_encode($_REQUEST['amount']);
?>

 

Would work.

Why do you use url_encode ?

It makes variables url friendly, as an & inside $_REQUEST would throw the url off, url_encode encodes them so they can be passed as they need to be passed.
