encoding a URL and using in a header

[takn25]

Hi, i would like to encode a url example.

 

$error="You must be signed in";
$enc=urlencode("http://localhost/finxed/asku/asked.php?error=$error");
header("LOCATION: $enc");

 

Could some one tell me what can i do to achieve my desired result. I want the header to take to the LOCATION, which is $enc but i wanted it to be encoded when displayed in the url field. The current code is not working.

What about it "isn't working"?

I get object not found(page not found) with the encoded url but when i try with out encoding it works fine.

The only thing you would likely need to use urlencode() on would be the $error variable. Give this a try.

 

$enc=urlencode($error);
header("Location: http://localhost/finxed/asku/asked.php?error=$enc");
