PHP guru's in the house?

I need help I am trying to send a query string to another PHP script. I can get it working outside the script using a simple echo using the variable

$q = $_GET["q"];

echo "hello $q"

but I have a piece of code and the data needs to be "cleaned removing the %20 but leaving the spaces in the script (I am a newbie to php)

this is part of the line of code

echo GetSearchResults($query=$q, $isEmpty=1, more here....


$q needs to be something like 'Baseball Bat' not 'Baseball%20Bat'

Any assistance is appreciated :)

Would this help ?

$q = str_replace("%20", " ", $q);

Where are you getting the value from, a form on another page? If you are using an HTML form to collect and send the data, use POST instead of GET.

You might also want to look at urldecode (http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php)

[Don-Dad]

not using a form just retrieving the query string from the URL. I'll try some of the suggested and report back :)

Thanks!
