variable in hyperlink gets cut off at a space

[bhbase99]

Hey

In my php code I have a link that uses several variables. Sometime the variables are words and phrases with spaces. Whenever the phrase has a space, it cuts off everything after the space. For example:

http:/www.mysite.com/blah.php?$keyword&$otherstuff

when they click this link:
http://www.mysite.com/blah.php?America+The+Book

it gets passed as:

http://www.mysite.com/America

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

Look at using [man]urlencode[/man].

First of all, this isn't your thread; why are you bumping it?

Second of all, why are you bumping it period?

Third of all, a solution to fix the problem has already been posted.

hmm... but the URI used already is urlencoded.

Very, very sorry. I misread the post.

Is there a place we can see an example of this? Perhaps post a link to the page you tried this on?

It looks as though it is encoded just fine... I can't think of why it would be calling that URI instead.
