[SOLVED] Using $_GET with spaces in variables

[bdmovies]

I need to pass some variables that have spaces from page 1 to page 2. But when I pass them, the variables show the spaces with %20. Should I replace the spaces with like a * before and then just strip all * from the variables once I get them on the other page? what is the simplest way?

 

This is where I'm at.

<?php
$case_number = "CI 07 MF 1234" //<-- on page1.php
<a href="page2.php?case_number=$case_number">Edit the case</a> //<-- on page1.php

//page2.php = 

$case_number = $_GET['case_number'];
echo $case_number;
?>

use urlencode($string) before you use it, then urldecode($_GET['string']) when you GET it.
