Try modifying PHP script to not put ANY spaces or returns (newlines) in

the output. Everything should run together. Any space in the actual

variable data should be encoded with %20. Infact, each variable string

(not variable name) should be URLencoded. I believe PHP has a built-in

URLencoding function.


Your output needs to look like this:


transport=By%20Rail&dest1=Thamesport%20Le%20Havre&sailing1=Wednesday&cutoff1=Saturday&days1=6+days&dest2=Hamburg&sailing2=Sunday

etc...
