variable in url

[dingleberry]

Hey Perhaps someone out there knows the answer to this cause I'm a little stumped.

If I'm passing variables between scripts using the url like

$var="hi";
$var2="hi2";

http://www.test.php?var1=$var&var2=$var2

however if
$var="hi Dan"
$var2="hi 2 Dan"

http://www.test.php?var1=$var&var2=$var2

only carries

http://www.test.php?var1=hi

and that's it. Does anyone know how to force the url to carry the whole string? I've tried

http://www.test.php?var1="$var1"&var2="$var2"

but then I only get

http://www.test.php?var1="hi

Thanks in advance.
Dan

try this

function qlink( $q )
{
GLOBAL $QUERY_STRING;
if ( ! $q ) return $QUERY_STRING;
$ret = "";
foreach( $q as $key => $val )
{
if ( strlen( $ret ) ) $ret .= "&";
$ret .= urlencode( $key ) . "=" . urlencode( $val );
}
return $ret;
}
$q = array ( name => "Arthur Harold Smith",
interest => "Cinema (mainly art house)",

homepage =>
''

http://80-www.corrosive.co.uk.proxy.lib.uiowa.edu/harold/"

);
print qlink( $q );
// prints
name=Arthur+Harold+Smith&interest=Cinema+%28mainly+art+house
//
%29&homepage=http%3A%2F%2F

http://www.corrosive.co.uk/harold/

?>
<p>
<a href=&quot;anotherpage.php?<? print qlink($q) ?>&quot;>Go!</a>
</p>

(taken from sams teach yourself php in 24 hours- I think you need to do something similar and make your variables into an array) Sometimes, when my code just won't behave, I take it outside and make it listen to britney spears music, and when it comes back it's really well behaved. I wonder if it's suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome now..
