My Cats Email Links Fail on iPhone

Hi
I received an email today listing all the cats I keep and asking to specify edits, no change or stop keeping. But if I click on the no change link I get the attached error:
Should I do this on the PC?
Not a bug, but a related question - this also made me wonder about how I can record updates in size - I'm waiting on a new tank and will plan to catch, photograph and measure each fish to see how they have grown - is there any way to record this apart from notes?
Thanks
Martin

Hmmm, that's interesting. Can you forward the email to me (webmaster at planetcatfish dot com)?
Somewhere on it's journey through cyberspace, the space character between the n and the S in your username has gone missing.
Will look into it...
Cheers,
Jools

Oh, and on the size thing, when editing my cats you can update the sizes...

Will do.

OK thanks - I guess I was just considering being able to see the growth rate since adding - maybe I'll jot the before and after down as I add.
Thanks again

This is just a note to myself, so apologies for the techno mumbo-jumbo.
Code: Select all
<br /><img class='dropshadow' src='http://www.planetcatfish.com/images/thumb(l)/doradidae/hassar/orestis/1.jpg' title='Hassar orestis' alt='Hassar orestis' /><br /><em>Hassar</em> <em>orestis</em> - <a href='http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/my_fish.php?task=edit&id=32685&species_id=39&username=Martin S'>edit</a>, <a href='http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/my_fish.php?task=touch&id=32685&species_id=39&username=Martin S'>no change</a> or <a href='http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/my_fish.php?task=edit&edmode=stop&id=32685&species_id=39&username=Martin S'>stop keeping</a>. Last update: 2012-10-05.
The issue is the "Martin S" in the URL, it should be encoded to Martin%20S to allow it to pass correctly through all mail transports. It's going to be a "good one" to test, will need to put some time aside to test properly as getting this wrong could break a LOT of emails.
At least you know it's a bug!

Do we have, or is there a "ready-made" PHP function for converting spaces to "%20" like this? I seem to remember we've had a similar thing before now.
Edit: Answer to myself:
should do what is needed here.

This is now fixed. Martin, would appreciate confirmation next time you get the chance, or anyone else with a space in their username (e.g. @Dave Rinaldo) ?
Cheers,
