FYI: I update my previous post with the last paragraph.
If you're putting values in the URL to obtain it later with $_GET, you should really use urlencode(). But it's really only significat to use if the data is going to have special characters and spaces in the data.
To quickly build values to put in the URL (from an array) you can use http_build_query() (which automatically does a urlencode). This function is only available in PHP 5. So, here's a way of achieving the same thing in PHP 4:
if (!function_exists('http_build_query')) {
function http_build_query ($formdata, $numeric_prefix = '') {
$encoded_query = NULL;
if (is_array($formdata) && count($formdata) > 0) {
foreach($formdata as $key => $value) {
$key = ctype_digit((string) $key) ? $numeric_prefix . $key : $key;
$encoded_query .= '&' . $key . '=' . urlencode($value);
}
}
return $encoded_query;
}
}
