Help with php script (problems with = sign)

Hello,

I have the following script, which is giving me problems. As you can see, it is a form submission, which redirects to another form submission (the "redirect" variable). However, the = signs are acting up.

The problem is that it wants to redirect to "http://probuilderplus.com/LeadInterface/?memberid" because it thinks the rest are additional variables, not part of the url to direct to.

I hope my description of the problem makes sense. Thanks for any help...

<?php 
header( "Location: http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl?meta_web_form_id=1185610005&unit=natebianco&redirect=http://probuilderplus.com/LeadInterface/?memberid=395209&fname=".$_POST["FIRST"]."&lname=".$_POST["LAST"]."&email=".$_POST["EMAIL"]."&phone=".$_POST["PHONE"]."&ipaddress=".$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]."&leadprovider=MyAuto&meta_adtracking=MyAuto&meta_message=1&meta_required=from&meta_forward_vars=0&name=".$_POST["FIRST"]." ".$_POST["LAST"]."&from=".$_POST["EMAIL"]."" ) ;
?>

PHP:

 

I tried replacing all of the & and = in the redirect url with their html equivelents, but then I was redirected to http://probuilderplus.com/LeadInter...sage=1&meta_required=from&meta_forward_vars=0 which didn't work either.

 

Can you move the ?memberid to the end of the url instead of the begining?

 

Don't use the ? mark?

 

maybe try using ticks (') instead of quotes (") ?

 

What I think I need is a way to send the redirect url variable through the aweber system without it being in a format that aweber interprets as variables for it's use. Other than doing a mod-rewrite on the other end so that the url is a static page, I can't figure it out.

I guess I could use a cookie to pass the redirect url info, too, huh?

 

Reference this thread: Parsing URL

Your solution is to urlencode() or rawurlencode() the URL parameter (which is itself an URL). You'll have to use PERL to URL decode it though...

Why? What's wrong with urldecode()?
