Hyperlink is adding an extra gap to variable

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi, here's my problem..

I have a php generated page with a hyperlink which opens in a new window

echo "<tr><td><a onclick="window.open('http://www.***.com/page/options.php?user_id=$user_id&session_id=$session_id','options','width=590,height=200,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,statusbar=no,directories=no,menubar=no,location=no');return false;" href="">$user_id</a></td></tr>";

The problem occurrs at options.php?user_id=$user_id

The resulting hyperlink on the generated page adds a space to the user id after the "="

So when options.php loads.. it results in the user's id having an extra %20 at the beginning of their name

Example..

The first page links to this.. http://www.***.com/page/options.php?user_id= Eejut&session_id=12345

When options.php loads it prints..

"This is %20Eejut's Options Page"

I've tried using trim($user_id) before printing the hyperlink to the main page (that calls options.php) and the space still occurrs in the hyperlink

Anyone know what's going wrong?? thanks in advance
