php mysql run script with spaces

[slangnit]

can anyone tell me how to run a script that pulls from mysql where the variable has a space... the script stops at

phone_notes.php?manufacturer=test&model=m800

its suppose to be:

phone_notes.php?manufacturer=test&model=m800 instinct

Can someone tell me how to put something in my script that will grab the whole variable.

well in php you should just be able to use $_GET['model']

however you may be having problems because that the url is not url encoded.

really it should be like

phone_notes.php?manufacturer=test&model=m800%20instinct

and the %20 is converted to a space.

Check out php.net/urlencode

that deffinately sounds like what I am looking for... so heres how my current script works:

This link retrieves model names from a database

echo"<a href=phone_notes.php?manufacturer=$manufacturer&amp;model={$model[0]}>$model[0]</a><br>";

when the user clicks on it, it retrieves the notes for that model. The problem I'm having is when a model is named something like "m800 instinct" the url will stop at

phone_notes.php?manufacturer=LG&model=ax

its suppose to be

phone_notes.php?manufacturer=LG&model=ax 260 scooplx 260 rumor

thanks for your help

change it to this:

PHP Code:

echo "<a href=phone_notes.php?manufacturer=" . urlencode($manufacturer) . "&amp;model=" . urlencode($model[0]) . ">" . urlencode($model[0]) . "</a><br>";
