[RESOLVED] passing linebreaks with GET- Is it possible?

[hattefnatte]

Hi,

Im trying to pass a text on a redirect as:

---

$text = "Some text
with linebreaks in it";

header("Location: add_user.php?text=$text")

---

I want to preserv the linebreaks. As for now, only the first line is submitted.

Is there a smart way around this?

Do I have to replace the linebreaks before redirect and than re-replace them on destination?

By the way is there a way to redirect using POST instead?
That would also solve the problem i think.

I'm very grateful for all help provided, I'm a little desperate.

Yes, if you properly [man]rawurlencode/man

Thanks for the answer!

That did the trick with the linebreaks alright.
But now the " is causing problems. No matter if I first urlencode and then urldecode, every " will show as \". Hmm.. maybe I will have to store this text as a session variable or something... or is there a better solution??

(sorry I do not know the english name for " sign.

Maybe the stripslashes() function will help you with your output? Look it up🙂

And btw.. " is called a quote or double-quote.

Have a nice day!

stripslashes() worked perfekt, thanks!
