passing multiple vars into header("Location:")

[larryhead]

Hi,
I hope someone can help me out with this...
Is this possible?

I have a giant links list, which links like this
example 1 - which works
<a href="redirect.php?link=http://www.domain1.com/">Visit Domain 1</a>

example 2 - which does not work (notice two ?'s in URL)
<a href="redirect.php?link=http://www.domain2.com/?a=23&b=54&g=53">Visit Domain 2</a>

Here is what redirect.php looks like:

// redirect.php
// increments counter and redirects to correct link

// ... some code to increment hit counter

if (isset($link)) {
  header("Location: $link");
  exit;

} else {
  header("Location: http://www.defaultdomain.com/");
  exit;
}

Example 1 works and correctly redirects to
http://www.domain1.com/

Example 2 redirects, but only passes along the first variable a=23
http://www.domain2.com/?a=23

I would be very grateful if someone knows how to pass along the other variables. Is it possible to have:

header("Location: http://www.domain2.com/?a=23&b=54&g=53");

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

maybe the function [FONT=courier new]urlencode()[/FONT] can help you.

echo '<a href="redirect.php?link='.urlencode('http://www.domain2.com/?a=23&b=54&g=53').'">Visit Domain 2</a>';

wizkid,

thank you very much for replying, your suggestion works perfectly!

take care,

That was a lot better than the solution I had in mind, I was about to build my own urlencoder, I did not realize php had one. =p
