Php Redirect trouble

Hi,

I'm trying to write a simple redirect script.

Example url:
go.php?to=http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=123&a=123&m=123

Script:
$link = $_GET['to'];
header("location:$link");

The GET only gets up till http://www.awin1.com/pclick.php?p=123

How can I get the whole link?

Thanks

This is because you haven't url encoded the redirect url - the script sees each variable as a seperate entity, so "&a=123&m=123" would be in two further variables called a and m.

You can do two things. Either urlencode the web address before you pass it to the sscript so it doesn't get cut up, or have a seperate loop in the script to construct the entire address from the whole $_GET value.

If your still stuck this is the page on php.net you need to look at to find and use the function:-

PHP: urlencode - Manual

Thanks lowndsy,

urlencode did the trick.
