Question

I want to use some thumbshots generated images inside a WP loop, and the code looks like this:

if (!$thumbnail && wpbdp_get_option('use-default-picture'))
    $thumbnail = 'http://images.thumbshots.com/image.aspx?cid=xxxxxxxxxx&v=1&w=283&url=URLHERE';

URLHERE is generated by this:

How to replace the URLHERE thing with the output (outputs and URL) of:

<?php echo wpbusdirman_the_listing_meta('single'); ?>

I am very bad at php.

Thanks,

URL encode the returned value!! You’re putting a URL into a URL- if you don’t URLEncode it, you’re asking for more than a little trouble.
I believe it’s as simple as:

<?php echo urlencode(wpbusdirman_the_listing_meta('single')); ?>
