question about $ GET['url']

[drooh]

I am trying to pass a string accross a url such as
note.php?type=stuff&id=33

the problem I am having is that the contents of the $_GET['return_url'] are cut off at the &.

My question is there a way to get everything after return_url=

login.php?return_url=http://www.webmasterworld.com/read_cookie.php?id=1&f=1

You have to encode the URL query to specification in order to get that, otherwise it becomes part of the URI itself. The following would do what you want:

login.php?return_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webmasterworld.com%2Fread_cookie.php%3Fid%3D1%26f%3D1

If you are generating this URL from php, then you may want to take a look at urlencode [php.net]

You can use the variable $_SERVER[QUERY_STRING] - it's all in there!
