[RESOLVED] How to redirect a long URL?

[happyness]

Hi,

How to redirect a long URL(such as below the $url part of code) to new website?

I tried to enter following codes transformation a parameter and redirect to new website:

$IN = $_REQUEST['IN'];

if($IN) {
$query= "SELECT * FROM item
         WHERE ItemNumber = '$IN' 
	     ORDER BY ItemNumber ASC";}

$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

while ($Items = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

$itemname = $Items['ItemName'];
$itemnumber = $Items['ItemNumber'];
$price = $Items['Price'];

$url = "https://www.abc.com/xbc/ss=[e-mail]&item_name=$itemname&item_
number=$itemnumber&amount=$price&rm=2&image_url=&no_shipping=1&return=http://attt.com/momo.php&cancel_return=http://attt.com/&notify_url=http://attt.com/show.php&currency_code=USD";

}

$url = urlencode($url);

header("location: $url");

mysql_free_result($result);

?>

For example my domain is myweb.com. I will get following wrong URL address after redirect processing.

http://myweb.com/https://www.abc.com/xbc/ss=[e-mail]&item_name=$itemname&item_
number=$itemnumber&amount=$price&rm=2&image_url=&no_shipping=1&return=http://attt.com/momo.php&cancel_return=http://attt.com/&notify_url=http://attt.com/show.php&currency_code=USD

Thanks in advance.

Looks like you're missing a "?" to start the query string. Also, you need to [man]urlencode[/man] any value in the query string that is not a simple number or single word.

$url = "https://www.abc.com/xbc/?ss=" . urlencode("[e-mail]") .
       "&item_name=" . urlencode($itemname) .
       "&item_number=" . urlencode($itemnumber) .
       "&amount=" . urlencode($price) .
       "&rm=2&image_url=&no_shipping=1" .
       "&return=" . urlencode("http://attt.com/momo.php") .
       "&cancel_return=" . urlencode("http://attt.com/") .
       "&notify_url=" . urlencode("http://attt.com/show.php") .
       "&currency_code=USD";
