Problem with link mailed by php

[Petal]

Hi

I have made a ecard site and have some problems with mailning the link to the ecard.

The link should be somthing like:

http://www.site.no/ecard.php?ecard_id=29528&email=somename@hotmail.com

Some users get this link:

http://www.site.no/ecard.php?ecard_id=3D29528&email=3Dsomename=@hotmail.com

ant it will not work.

Why do they get a corupt link?

You can try to use URL encoded characters in your link generating script for the values after the equal signs.

It would also be helpful to see the code that generates the link.

# Suggestion
$URLemail = urlencode($email);
$URL = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.sidene.no/ekort_vis.php";[/URL]

# print or assemble
print($URL.'?ekort_id='.$ekortID.'&email='.$URLemail);
