Help....

[miles_rich]

Can anyone help, i have a problem with passing variables with the get or post function.

I need to pass a variable from a dynamicly created drop down list, and then i need to url encode it when its selected so i can send it to another page with out it being trimmed because of the spaces in it. eg

i want to send "Tea Pot"

so it would be

test.php?var1=Tea Pot

but i get

test.php?=var1=Tea

so i guess its trimming it.

so if i url encode it, it should fill in the spaces with "%20"

or is there a better way to do it??

please help as i am really stuck.

$var1 = "Tea Pot";
$var1 = rawurlencode($var);
print "test.php?var1=$var1";

Is the drop down list part of a form? It should be, with the name of the select field being var1, if that's the field the action script is expecting.

If you dont use a form then I guess you need to use some javascript to pick up the selected value... but that's another story.
