Semi colon affecting redirect function

[ralphiooo]

Hi, i'm trying to do a simple redirect problem but i've run into a problem, here's the function:

function redirect($path, $timeout = 2) {
header('Refresh: ' . $timeout . '; URL=' . str_replace('&', '&', $path));
}

My problem is when the path passed in contains & ie (index.php?s=1&c=2) it cuts off everything after the semi colon. I tried doing a str_replace on the path replacing & with & but i found that this doesn't always works when you go to a path with & instead of &.

You do not use & server-side for URLs... so you are right to be replacing all occurrances of & with a single & character.

...i found that this doesn't always work...

Your code looks acceptable - could you provide us with an example that "doesn't always work" please.

Cheers,
Jeff

Hi, cheers after looking into it further i realized my edit statement was resetting the category id and not the sub category id therefore the redirect went to the wrong place. Cheers again.
