php parameter with apostrophes

Question

I have string parameter with apostrophes that I need to pass it to another php page. My code is:

echo \'


        

Answer 1

What's happening is that the URL parser is breaking on the single quotes. Check out the URLEncode method, to encode your query string parameters.

Answer 2

echo '<form name="submitForm2" action="creatDocument.php?$formulation='.urlencode(utf8_encode($formulation)).'" method="POST">
     <input type="submit" value="pass"/>
     </form>';
