Hi,

I am using $_GET[] for getting data from url..........its working fine but not showing data after '&'

For example I searched for the keyword: Ac Repairs & Services but its taking only Ac Repairs.....no data after '&'

Can anyone tell me as why its not taking value after & and how can I solve it.

Thanks

"&" is a delimiter in querystrings and spaces are NOT allowed in key values.

Thanks, I am doing it like this......

PHP Code:


			
<?
    $value = urlencode('$row_category['category']');
                        
                       echo "<a href=\"../srch/serachkey.php?id=Meerut&amp;title=$value\" class="left_txt">";
                       echo $row_category['category'];
                       '</a>'
?>

but its flagging an error : syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in.....

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

<?
$value = rawurlencode($row_category['category']);

echo "<a href=\"../srch/serachkey.php?id=Meerut&title=$value\" class=\"left_txt\">";
echo $row_category['category'];
echo '</a>';
?>

LOOK at the syntax colouring in your post!

PHP Code:


			
 echo '<a href=\"../srch/serachkey.php?id=Meerut&amp;title=$value\" class="left_txt">';

Thanks to all you have replied.......but I am not sure how can I encode through JS?? I was advised that its same in php and JS but I feel its different.

So can anyone please tell me how can I encode user text in Javascript.

I am doing something like this.....

Quote:

var b=document.getElementById('get_searchword').value;
document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0].action="srch/searchkey.php?id=Meerut&title="+escape(b)+"";
