I'm sure there is a really, really simple way to solve this issue. I'm just not a programmer so I don't know it off the top of my head.
I have this script ext.php that accepts a variable ref.
It works like http://ext.php?ref=http://site.name
The problem is that there is also a '?' in the variable ref that I'm using. Like so:
http://ext.php?ref=http://sitename.asp?id=141
I suspect because there is another '?' in variable ref, ext.php has a problem with it. I cannot change ext.php or sitename.asp.
So my question is, how can I make this work properly via the url? I've tried using %26 for the '?' as well as the & html escape code, but it still doesn't work. Any assistance appreciated.
