[SOLVED] urlencode help

[adam291086]

I am setting up the urls on my site. But two of the links need to stay as http://www.ryedalerumble.com/riders.php. When i test the links everything work ok until the user goes to the riders.php page. When they try and navigate away the url goes to www.ryedalerumble.com/riders.php?page=index instead of www.ryedalerumble.com?page=index.php. Heres the code

 

echo '<li><a href="http://ryedalerumble.co.uk?page='.urlencode('Entry Form').'">Entry Page</a></li> ';
echo '<li><a href="http://ryedalerumble.co.uk?page='.urlencode('Useful information').'">Useful Information</a></li> ';
echo '<li><a href="http://ryedalerumble.co.uk?page='.urlencode('Faq').'">FAQ</a></li> ';
echo '<li><a href="http://ryedalerumble.co.uk?page='.urlencode('index').'">Latest</a></li> ';
echo '<li><a href="http://ryedalerumble.co.uk?page='.urlencode('index').'">Gallery</a></li> ';
echo '<li><a href="http://ryedalerumble.co.uk?page='.urlencode('index').'">Results</a></li> ';
echo '<li><a href="http://ryedalerumble.co.uk?page='.urlencode('index').'">Comments</a></li> ';
echo ' <li><a href="http://ryedalerumble.co.uk/riders.php">Riders</a></li> ';
echo ' <li><a href="http://ryedalerumble.co.uk/view_all_news.php">View all news articles</a></li> ';
echo '<li><a href="http://ryedalerumble.co.uk?page='.urlencode('Contact_Us').'">Contact Us</a></li> ';

Your missong the /

 

echo '<li><a href="http://ryedalerumble.co.uk/?page='.urlencode('Faq').'">FAQ</a></li> ';

 

Also...

 

Why are you using urlencode on strings that don't contain any special chars?

Why are you hardcoding the domain name into all your scripts?

thanks that works now

 

one more problem. I have some links that i want to keep redundant. So if you click on it the page goes know where. How would i do that. I have tried using # but the site still changes the page

 

echo '<li><a href="/?page='.urlencode('#').'" class="parent">Routes</a></li> ';

[trq]

echo '<li><a href="#" class="parent">Routes</a></li>';

 

And once again, you don't need urlencode!

adam291086, you really don't need to urlencode those variables.  The only characters to get encoded would be the spaces in 'Entry Form', which would become Entry%20Form, something you can write yourself.

 

thorpe is right, no need to hard code here

 

echo '<li><a href="/?page=Entry%20Form">Entry Page</a></li> ';

 

the empty anchor link you want is <a href="#">
