Thank_Q for your reply firepages..
i tried the 'urlencode()' like this:
(but wiht no success)
while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$alias = $r["alias"];
$s_type = $r["s_type"];
$rack = $r["rack"];
$rack_p = $r["rack_p"];
$s_port = $r["s_port"];
$os = $r["os"];
$ip_add = $r["ip_add"];
echo "<tr>
<td align=left>
<a href="editing.php3?alias=urlencode($alias)&s_type=urlencode($s_type)&etc...
// and here is what the other file looks like:
<html>
<body bgcolor=#ffffff>
<img src="img/hnet.gif" alt=""><h1>Edit entry</h1>
<form method="get" action="editdb.php3">
<table width="700" align=center bgcolor=gray border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
<tr>
<td bgcolor=#6666cc width="25%"><b>Name/Alias:</b></td><td><font color=orange size=+1><b><?php echo "$alias";?></b></font></td></tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor=#6666cc width="25%"><b>Server_Type:</b></td><td><input type=text name=s_type size=20 maxlength=20 value="<?php echo "$s_type";?>"></td></tr>
etc......
thank-Q all
