Passing URL query Variable to different Forms

Question

I need to send users from a php form to another, but I need to pass a URL query across too. So they are arriving at example.com/[email protected], then they need to passed to example.com/[email protected]. I can not get it to use $_GET in the '' around the header('Location: http://www.example.com');

See Code

<?php

$email = $_GET["email"];

$_POST['customerSatisfaction'];
    $to = "blah";
    $email_from = 'blah';
    $email_subject = "blah";
    $headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";
    $email_body =   "   <?xml version = \"1.0\"?>
    <?adf version = \"1.0\"?>
        <adf>

            <prospect>
                <customer>

                <email preferredcontact=\"1\">$email</email>

                </customer>

            </prospect>
        </adf>
";
    mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
    header('Location: http://www.BLAH.com/NEED $EMAIL HERE!!');
?>

What you posted is invalid. Try this:

header('Location: http://www.BLAH.com/?email=' . urlencode($email));

Also it's usually a good idea to add exit; after sending a redirect header.

How do I avoid getting ?email=Blah%40Gmail.com? I can't parse on the receiving end.

The @ has been encoded because it is a special character. $_GET will decode it automatically, you don't have to do anything.

But on the other side it isnt, the parse is taking it down with %40. I know you use urldecode with $_GET but I dont see where.

$_GET automatically passes variables through urldecode. Do not do it manually, as I said you don't have to do anything! See the warning here php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php
