URL get problem

Hey all,

I have a program which gets a URL from the current url. example:

http://www.mysite.com/gotolink.php?url=http://www.google.com/

I can get the url if the address is as simple above, but when the address contains &, it fails. i.e.

http://www.mysite.com/gotolink.php?url=http://www.google.com/?action=site&id=2&h=3923283992392

Because GET will stop when it gets to the link & because it thinks its another variable. How do I go about getting a whole url?

Thanks

You need to urlencode() (http://php.net/urlencode) values in the URL query string. Please see Example #2 at the PHP Manual page for urlencode() (http://php.net/urlencode).

echo urldecode(http_build_query($_GET));
