A very interesting hack

[Davey]

Ah found a bug :P.
It uses http://www.yoururl.com/out.php?http://www.otherurl.com
It interprets it as a url, and doesn't redirect to http://www.otherurl.com.
Can you fix it?

Dave.

[Davey]

Nevermind it seems too buggy for me.
I'm on the brink of releasing my script and I need urls to function correctly, seeing as my attachments don't.

Davey. If I can help you somhow to make it work let me know. Your error is weird.

[Slynderdale]

You should url encode the right url before you output it or youll get errors with urls.

[Slynderdale]

hmm, see if this works:

find:

PHP Code:

  $hyperlink = iif(trim($hyperlink)=="" or $hyperlink==$url, iif(strlen($url)>55,substr($url,0,35)."...".substr($url,-15),$url) ,$hyperlink);
  return "<a href=\"/out.php?$righturl\" target=\"_blank\">".str_replace('\"', '"', $hyperlink)."</a>";
} 

above it add:

PHP Code:

$righturl = htmlentities(urlencode($righturl)); 

in out.php find:

PHP Code:

$UrlAdr = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; 

under it add:

PHP Code:

$UrlAdr = urldecode($UrlAdr); 

tell me if that works.
