Saving Html in a link then passing it thru a URL

[Arc]

Hi. I have a problem here with passing html charaters the a URL and then getting the browser to use the HTML and not interpret it as a string.

For instance i have a URL like this

Print "<a href = \"previewfullnews.php?Title=$Title&Full=$Full\"><font color=\"#FFCC66\" size=2>".$Summary."...</font></a><br><br>";

Now say the $Full variable holds this value

$Full = "<b>Bunch of text<br> more text<br> asdasd<br> <a href='asdasd.com'>test</a></b>";

When i click on the first link it should open a new browser window and display the text as text and the html as html but instead it just shows the whole thing as text and the html is not being interpreted.

How do i get the browser to recognize the html?

Thanks!😃

Here is pretty much the code for the whole page

$Title = stripslashes($Title);
$Summary = stripslashes($Summary);
$Full = stripslashes($Full);
$Title = htmlspecialchars($Title);
$Full = htmlspecialchars($Full);
Print "<b><font color=\"#FF0000\" size=1>New Item</font><br>";
Print "<b><font color=\"#FF9900\" size=3>".$Title."</font></b><br>";
$Title = str_replace(" ","%20",$Title);
$Full = str_replace(" ","%20",$Full);
Print "<a href = \"previewfullnews.php?Title=$Title&Full=$Full\"><font color=\"#FFCC66\" size=2>".$Summary."...</font></a><br><br>";

Check the urlencode function

Hmm still doing the same sorta thing.

I have this code

$Title = stripslashes($Title);
$Summary = stripslashes($Summary);
$Full = stripslashes($Full);
$Title = htmlspecialchars($Title);
$Full = htmlspecialchars($Full);
Print "<b><font color=\"#FF0000\" size=1>New Item</font><br>";
Print "<b><font color=\"#FF9900\" size=3>".$Title."</font></b><br>";
//$Title = str_replace(" ","%20",$Title);
//$Full = str_replace(" ","%20",$Full);
$Title = urlencode($Title);
$Full = urlencode($Full);
Print "<a href = \"previewfullnews.php?Title=$Title&Full=$Full\"><font color=\"#FFCC66\" size=2>".$Summary."...</font></a><br><br>";

When i click the link it takes me to previewfullnews.php and passes this information thru the URL(ofcourse its diferent depending on what is inside the variable).

http://www.website.com/new/admin/news/previewfullnews.php?Title=News+Title&Full=News+Full+Article%26lt%3Bbr%26gt%3BTest%26lt%3Bbr%26gt%3BTest

Then on the next page i use urldecode to decode the the url. Heres the code for that page

$Title = stripslashes($Title);
$Full = stripslashes($Full);
$Title = htmlspecialchars(urldecode($Title));
$Full = htmlspecialchars(urldecode($Full));
Print "<b><font color=\"#FF9900\" size=3>".$Title."</font><br>";
Print "<font color=\"#FFCC66\" size=2>".$Full."</font><br><br>";

But the end result ends up looking like this

News Full Article<br>Test<br>Test

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks!😃
