Passing Variables in URL

[mattroessner]

I am trying to pass a variable in a URL but the variable has an '&' in it. When I pass the variable to the next page, it reads the '&' as the beginning of the next variable. Does anyone know a good way to get around this?

Example:

variable=COR_R&D_TEST

default.php?page=test&login=$login&variable=COR_R&D_Test

when it comes into the next page, the variable is:

variable=COR_R

Any help is appreciated

You want to pass your variable string through the urlencode function before using them in the URL you generate.

Thanks for the help. The 'urlencode' function worked like a charm!

I appreciate the help
