Substitution

[mooniron]

I have small problem. I want to show a link contains a query string parameter which has two separate strings like
$myName = "my name";
$myLastName= "lastname";
When I want to built the link like:
&quot;<a href = mylink.pl?name=&quot;.$myName.&quot;lastname=&quot;.$myLastName.&quot;>&quot;; ...
Browser ignores everything after &quot;my&quot; and link appears as
-> mylink.pl?name=my
How can I solve this?
Thanks..

it's the space that's causing your problem.
You could replace the space with '%20' as that's what a space would be encoded as by a webserver

I'd really start looking at CGI.pm

this will do the job

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

print &quot;Content-type: text/html\n\n&quot;;

$myName = &quot;my name&quot;;
$myLastName = &quot;lastname&quot;;

[red]$myName =~ tr/ /+/;[/red]

$url = &quot;<a href=mylink.pl?name=${myName}&lastname=${myLastName}>link text...</a>&quot;;

print &quot;$url\n&quot;;

Cheers
