Thanks for your help on this!
Because the links that are on the HTML pages won't be determined by myself
(and won't be encoded), I need to encode them when they are read by the
script. All that I do is put the call to the php script onto the link. So
what I tried to do is plugged the code below
urlencode($url) right into the frame call itself.
<frame name="textarea" src="<? echo $url=urlencode($url); ?>">
But of course that doesn't work because I'm still running into the 404
error.
Can I encode the $url taken in from the browser then decode it in the
output? Since I can't store the links in the script or in a database, the
url won't be encoded.
It works just fine if I link to ...
frame.php?x=frame&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mls.ca%2Fbin%2Furllink.exe%3Freq%3Dre
altor%26x_aid%3D11111%26x_bid%3d0
but not
frame.php?x=frame&url=http://www.mls.ca/bin/urllink.exe?req=realtor&x_aid=11
111&x_bid=0
Is there any way around this?
Thanks again for your input!
