$_GET[timespace] not working

[shoonya]

i have got a time stamp

[PHP]$ts = "2007-06-25 21:56:24.375+05:30";[/PHP]
which i am semding to php

[PHP]echo "<a href='../php/delete.php?timestamp_event=$ts' >Delete</a>";[/PHP]

now on php page using $_GET[timestamp_event] , removes the '+' sign
and thus it's not getting matched with the db entry

any quick solution
i have tried addslashes ans preg_quote but i can't make it out

[PHP]echo preg_quote($ts);
// gives
// 2007-06-25 21\:56\:24\.375\+05\:30[/PHP]

what u say it removes the plus sign, i'm going to assume it returns it like this:

2007-06-25 21:56:24.37505:30
 

so try this:
[PHP]
$ts=$_GET["timestamp_event"];
$temp1 = substr($ts, 0, count($ts) - 6);
$temp2 = substr($ts, count($ts) - 6);
$ts = $temp1."+".$temp2;
[/PHP]

hope that helps,
good luck

thanks for the response

this is one of the solution
but is there any better way to escape the '+' sign in the url ??

if you use urlencode the + sign should be encoded properly with the rest of the string
