I have this code below. As you can see I am passing two variables along with the link.
The second variabye (category
) works whenever it consists of one word, but some categories are two words or more, and then on the receiving php page where I fetch the variable only the first word is fetched.
Any ideas?
Example: I pass along this: Rims & Tires
Only this comes through: Rims
$display_table .= "<a href='../ad.php?ad_id=$row[ad_id]&category=$row[category]' target='_parent'>";
Here is how I fetch it in the receiving php file (which the link is to):
$cat = $_GET['category'];
echo $cat; //displays only first word of multiple word categories.
Thanks
