Passing string variable to HTML TITLE tag fails within Netscape but work well within IE.
I have a single page consisting of inventory items to be sold. When an item is selected, it passes the product name to a DETAIL page as part of the TITLE tag for the DETAIL page. My problem is: Netscape does not like the SPACES between the text and refuses to display the DETAIL page.
Initially, I thought there might be some way to parse the string and add the ascii code for SPACE, but I wasn't sure if I was on the right track. Does any have a proven solution to this problem?
I thought the pseudo code might look something like this:
<?php
function parse_and_change(&grab_string){
$string_holder=$grab_string;
while stepping through the characters in this $string_holder
{ if character = " " (or some other representation)
replace it with something that doesn't
scare netscape or title tag
}
return $string_holder;
?>
<?php
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["itemname"])) {
$title = (parse_and_change($HTTP_GET_VARS["itemname"] ));
}else{
$title="Generic Product Title";
?>
<html>
<title><?php echo $title ?> </title>
