Question

I’m using $_GET['link'] to recieve the link…

but the link has &‘s in it causing the variable to be read incorrectly.

How do I do this?

this is the link…

Thanks.

In writing the link use urlencode then in reading the link use urldecode:

<a href="http://example.com/file.php?link=<?php echo urlencode($link);?>">link</a>

<?php
   $link = urldecode($_GET['link']);    
   echo $link;
?>
