try it and see if it doesn't work, try using base64_encode() and base64_decode() after all, you're not encrypting the string, just making sure the script handles it okay, ay?

I guess I'm worried that urlencode may not sufficiently obscure the old query string, which may cause confusion on the second script. Any suggestions? This is basically a way of me ensuring I have a referring url, since HTTP_REFERER isn't always set my the browser.
