ampersand (&amp;) error

ampersand (&) error

Dear All, Pls Help me.

At Page1.php,

$custname="BALTRANS & LOGISTICS (CANADA)LTD.";
echo "<a href='page2.php?custname=$custname'>View List</a>";

At Page2.php,

$custname = ($HTTP_GET_VARS['custname']);
echo($custname);

Answer is "BALTRANS" only and the other does not show. Why?

[man]urlencode[/man]?

why don't you pass the customer's id?

I need both customer's id and name

but you pass only one of them 😕

sorry,

At page1.php,

$pcode="$noticia[keycode]";
$custname="$noticia[keydesc]";

echo "<a href='page2.php?custid=$pcode&custname=$custname'>View List</a>";

At page2.php,

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['custid'])){
$custid = ($HTTP_GET_VARS['custid']-0); }
else
{$custid=0;}

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['custname'])){
$custname = ($HTTP_GET_VARS['custname']);
echo($custname);
}
else
{$custname='';}

and why don't you read the name out of the database using the id?

anyway: urlencode should have solved your problem,didn't it?

when i use

$custname = urlencode($HTTP_GET_VARS['custname']);

i got this,

BALTRANS+

echo "<a href='a.php?custname=".urlencode($custname)."'>View List</a>";

Yes, I got answer. Thanks for your kind.
