URLs must be encoded if they contain special characters (and should be
encoded always).  See urlencode().

Subject: [PHP] Passing values containing a ? and a &


I want to assign a value using the url however the value contains both a ?
and an & so PHP (or the browser) seems to get confused.

Here's an example:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?id=23&url=http://www.anothersite.com/file.ph
p?qid=234&forum=4

Everything after url= should be the value of $url but this is not the case.
Is there a way to solve this?

Thanks
