[FX.php List] Encoding a link so that it'll process...

[Bob Patin]

I'm generating a link on a PHP page, like this:

http://www.site.com/test.php?cc=two words

The client wants to be able to copy this link for use later, but when we do so, anytime "cc" is 2 or more words the query fails.

I tried encoding the spaces like this

two%20words

but it still didn't work.

Then I tried doing a str_replace to get something like this:

two|words

and then when the user gets to the page, taking the pipe and putting a space back in before the search. That failed too...

Any thoughts?
