Rails - May 2006 - Url encoding Help Pls!

Hi guys,

it''s me again, I want to come up with the following url:

www.mysite.com/webpage?myid=1

I keep coming up with the following url:

www.mysite.com/webpage%3Fmyid%3D1

require ''uri''
$myurl = URI.escape("webpage?myid=")
redirect_to(:action => $myurl + 1 )

what am I doing wrong?

I also tried
require ''cgi''
$myurl = CGI::unescape("webpage?myid=")
redirect_to(:action => $myurl + 1 )

oh no, what''s going wrong? Also, on top of that, can you help what the 
difference between CGI and URI is?

thanks in advance,

Bing

Don''t know if this is helpful or not, but try something like this
instead:

id = 1
@myurl = "http://www.website.com/?myid=#{id}")
redirect_to @myurl

oc
