If i write the url of a file on a public domain, for instance
[url]http://dahwan.info/emailextractor/emailextractor.php?link=http://www.google.com/index.html[/url]

I get the error message
—

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /emailextractor/emailextractor.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Even though i dont even use the url in the php code.

Writing any other garbage in there, for isntance
[url]http://dahwan.info/emailextractor/emailextractor.php?link=qwleucfgoqwieufqwioufgn[/url]

Works fine! I need to be able to transmit the url

Help!

@DahwanauthorAug 20.2009 — No function in javascript is called urlencode()

@criterion9Aug 20.2009 — Then why did you post to a php forum if you are using javascript?

@DahwanauthorAug 20.2009 — I'm sending from javascript, through POST or GET with ajax, to PHP

@criterion9Aug 20.2009 — FYI: In Javascript escape() does the same as urlencode() in PHP

@DahwanauthorAug 20.2009 — Well no, in fact, it does [i]almost[/i] the same as urlencode. I had to fashion my own function for it to finally work properly.

[code=php]function urlencode(str) {
return escape(str).replace(/+/g,'%2B').replace(/%20/g, '+').replace(/*/g, '%2A').replace(///g, '%2F').replace(/@/g, '%40');
}[/code]

Thanks for help though ?
