Im pulling the variable "4+4" from the URL but I dont want it to add! How do I keep it literal?
4 . 4
well actually, I have no clue what you are talkign about, but to "append" in PHP..
$string3 = $string1 . $string2;
Okay, to encode the string 4+4, use this function:
echo "http://www.mydomain.com/script.php?string=" . urlencode("4+4");
in the PHP where you read the string variable, you don't need to worry about anything:
echo $_GET['string'];
will print out: 4+4 instead of 8.
