Strange behavior while passing values via URL…

When I try this link:

http://grassrootsindiana.com/teampage/?nameFull=Player-Name&year=17

I get the 404 page.

When I add %26 after the &…

http://grassrootsindiana.com/teampage/?nameFull=Player-Name&%26year=17

…it goes to the right place, prints Player-Name but not the 17.

I don’t think it’s missing the semi-colon…not sure though, but I’ve been tinkering with this and have found a work around, even though I don’t know why it works.

Ultimately, I’m trying to get it to print rosters, based on the year they graduate and team number within each age group of our program. So I have a & and %26 (which is code for &) before each variable, and that sends the number through. I have no clue why though.

http://grassrootsindiana.com/teampage/index.php?&%26year=16&%26team=1

You can change the year to 17 or 18 and have 1 or 2 as the team number to see the rosters. It works.

That’s the only way it worked. At some point, I was told to do that for “year” where I’m using “nameFull” too. That was a year ago, and PHP Freaks is down. It worked. So I tried it on both variables passing numbers, and it works.
