Problem with my send_to webpage

Missed some variables

[tomda]

Hi,

I have a small "send to" link so that users can send an email to a friend with the URL of the page. It use javascript and will open a small popup window. Only one variable is sent, called "link" in the example below.

e.g. javascript: openit("http://www.example.com/send_to.php?link=/www.example.com/this_page.php?var=first_var&var2=second_var")

No, the problem occur when retrieving the "link" variable, only the first variable is shown.

e.g. $_GET["link"] become /www.example.com/this_page.php?var=first_var
and "&var2=second_var" is removed from the link.

I guess I should change all the & in the link variable but I am sure there is a better alternative.

Thanks

Maybe & is being sent as &. so maybe try

html_entity_decode($_GET['link']);

Just a guess

Wrong answer nsf2 ;)
Thank you for trying.

... but on the right track. You need to urlencode [php.net] that link variable.

Thanks Coopster for reminding me to use urlencode().

I don't believe he was trying. He gave you an alternative.
