I am using code like the following to send info to a php file:

Code: Select all

String URLaddString = ("?name=" + name + "&title=" + title);
String newURL = ("http://www.mydomain.com/newentry.php" + URLaddString);


The problem that I have is that using a "name" or "title" with a space in it causes an exception. Is there a way I can adjust the code to allow spaces?
Thanks.

You need url encoding! Spaces(almost everything not a-zA-Z0-9) are NOT allowed in urls. Replace space with "%20" or "+".

Use this to also encode other characters,

Plusminus uses this function for his POST.

Thanks for your reply. I'll see what I can do with these.
