diafol 3,669 If you encode it, remember to encode your values before building the querystring. If you try to urlencode after building the complete querystring, you'll end up encoding the '&' querystring-pair separator and the '=' too.
If the category is "Tourism & Hotels"
then encode, e.g.
$raw = "Tourism & Hotels";
$enc = urlencode($raw);
$url = '?category=' . $enc . '&maincateg=' . $enc;
//then
<a href="<?php echo $url;?>"><?php echo $raw;?></a>
So, test something like this...
<?php
if($_GET)
{
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_GET);
echo "</pre>";
}
$raw = "Tourism & Hotels";
$enc = urlencode($raw);
$url = '?category=' . $enc . '&maincateg=' . $enc;
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<a href="<?php echo $url;?>"><?php echo $raw;?></a>
</body>
</html>
Not sure if that's what you want though.
