READURL Call on Macintosh, won't pass variables with spaces???

Question

Here is my code and the problem. I am trying to passing a
tablename and a classname with READURL and the PHP script takes the
info and returns to me my classid. This works wonderfully on the
PC, but on the MAC, when I click on a classname with a space I get
back a empty string as my return value.....here is my code from AW
and PHP......If you can help I would readlly appreciate it.

Answer 1

http doesn't like spaces in URLs.
This clicking on a classname -- is that happening on a web
page, or in AW?
Either way, you should urlencode the link. Replace any spaces
in the URL
with + signs, either manually on a web page, or by using the
replace
function in AW [replace("", "+", string)]. Then, in your PHP
script, you can
change the $_classname assignment to include urldecode:
$_classname = urldecode($_GET["classname"]);
This should return it to the multi-word format.
