Question

I have this echo,

echo "<a href = 'showdetails.php?name='$name'&type=movie'> </a>";

that is working as intend, but if

$name = Gulliver's Travels;

for example, I will only receive Gulliver in the other page.

Is there any way of circumventing this?

Thanks,

Zenshi.

I’d go for urlencode because you are using it as part of an URL:

echo "<a href = 'showdetails.php?name=".urlencode($name)."&type=movie'> </a>";
