Subject: [PHP] Strings with Spaces in URLS
I have come up with a bit of a problem....
I have a little funky search form on a page, and when I send the search
data on as a URL, anything with a space is screwed up.... example
$search = "This is a test";
echo "<a href=http://www.blah.com/foo.php?search=$search>";
and when the link is clicked (or even when the mouse is put over the link),
the URL in the browser is -
http://www.blah.com/foo.php?search=This
leaving out all words after the first space.
If I simply throw the while thing using the following header statement
header("Location: http://www.blah.com/foo.php?search=$search";);
then it brings it up properly in the browser.
Any suggestions ?
Cheers
Chris
