get and html text

[Bob Bedford]

I've to send many emails using a script that refresh every n seconds to
avoid server timeout (can't be bypassed).

Now, I've a loop wich detects how long does the script (a loop) takes to
run. If the script is close to the 25 seconds, then I redirect to itself
passing some values.

One of the value is some html code. Then I get it in variable, add some
text and so on, until threre is no more values in the database.

Now, passing the variables I do this:

($message contains the HTML code).

header('location:'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?message='.$message);

but doing a $message = $_GET['message']; I get nothing in the $message
variable.
why ? any idea?

I've tried to do so:
header('location:'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?message='.htmlentities($message));

(I added htmlentities function) but it doesn't work.

Any idea why ?

Try urlencode($message)
That is what urlencode is for. Do not use htmlentities because that is
something completely different.
