PHP: Use a $_GET-Param with multiple other Params within a $_GET-Param

Question

yeah, I know, the title is kind of confusing, but no better title came to my mind. Here is my problem:

I want to use a link in my application, which would look like this: localhost/index?jumpto=some_folder/somescript.php?someparam1=1234&someparam2=4321

The problem is that &someparam2 is meant to hang on the second $_GET-Param. It would be like this: localhost/index?jumpto=some_folder/somescript.php?someparam1=1234&someparam2=4321

Instead, PHP interprets that &someparam2 hangs on the first $_GET-Param. localhost/index?jumpto=some_folder/somescript.php?someparam1=1234&someparam2=4321

Does anyone know a solution for this?
I already tried
localhost/index?jumpto='some_folder/somescript.php?someparam1=1234&someparam2=4321'
but of course that didn't work.

I hope you can understand my problem. Thank you for your time.

You will need to URL encode your string some_folder/somescript.php?someparam1=1234 so that php will not parse & in the query string as a param separator.

use urlencode("some_folder/somescript.php?someparam1=1234");

I thought so, BUT I have the problem, that this link I wrote is used as a fixed link. Means that I cannot use urlencode in that case :(

Sorry, my english might not be the best :D I meant that another system uses this link, so it is not a link which could use urlencode().

@AK Then the other system is actually broken, because that link is invalid.

Thank you for all your answers, I will try using urlencode(), even if it is kind of tricky for my case.
