Passing values in a link

sergio

Hi.

Im having trouble passing a value using the following code:

printf( "<tr><td>%s</td><td><a href=delete_scope.php?import=%s>  Delete </a></td></tr>\n" ,$row[1],$row[1],$row[1]);

This puts rows in a table listing a string, the string has spaces in between (i.e. John Smith ).

The problem is it displays the string correctly in the column where it's used by itself but in the column where the string is used in a link it gets truncated (ie 'delete_scope.php?import=John' instead of 'delete_scope.php?import=John Smith' ).

Thanks in advance for your help.

use this function urlencode
in the %s

better you find out what $row is the %s then change it to :
$removespace = urlencode($row[x]);

at the a href=delte_scope.php?import=$removespace

printf( "<tr><td>%s</td><td><a href=delete_scope.php?import=%s> Delete </a></td></tr>\n" ,$row[1],<b>urlencode($row[1])</b>,$row[1]);

You can't send spaces as is in a link, you need to urlencode() them to be %20 so that the server will read them.
