How do I pass a URL with multiple parameters into a URL

Question

Basically I m trying to pass a URL like this   www foobar com  first 1 amp second 12 amp third 5   into a URL like this   http   www facebook com sharer php  amp t FOOBAR amp u http   www foobar com first 12 amp amp sec 25 amp amp position 2   It only recognizes the first parameter  I m having the same problem with LinkedIn and Twitter sharing  so it must be something I m doing wrong

I see you re having issues with the social share links  I had a similar issue at some point and found this question  but I don t see a complete answer for it  I hope my javascript resolution from below will help  I had default sharing links that needed to be modified so that the URL that s being shared will have additional UTM parameters concatenated  My example will be for the Facebook social share link  but it works for all the possible social sharing network links  The URL that needed to be shared was  https   mywebsitesite com blog post-name  The default sharing link looked like   facebook default    quot https   www facebook com sharer php u https 3A 2F 2mywebsitesite com 2Fblog 2Fpost-name 2F amp t hello quot   I first DECODED it  console log  decodeURIComponent  facebook default       gt  https   www facebook com sharer php u https   mywebsitesite com blog post-name  amp t hello  Then I replaced the URL with the encoded new URL  with the UTM parameters concatenated   console log  decodeURIComponent  facebook default  replace  window location href  encodeURIComponent window location href   utm medium social amp utm source facebook          gt   https   www facebook com sharer php u https 3A 2F mywebsitesite com 2Fblog 2Fpost-name 2F 3Futm medium 3Dsocial 26utm source 3Dfacebook amp t 2018  That s it  Complete solution    facebook default      a facebook default link   attr  href       a facebook default link   attr   href   decodeURIComponent  facebook default  replace  window location href  encodeURIComponent window location href   utm medium social amp utm source facebook

In your example parts of your passed-in URL are not URL encoded  for example the colon should be  3A  the forward slashes should be  2F    It looks like you have encoded the parameters to your parameter URL  but not the parameter URL itself   Try encoding it as well   You can use encodeURIComponent

You are missing the   in the second URL  Also  it should be URL-encoded to be  3F    Also  I believe that the remaining  amp  need to be URL  not HTML-encoded   Change  amp second 12 amp third 5 to  26second 12 26third 5 and everything should just work   This    amp u http   www foobar com first 12 amp amp sec 25 amp amp position 2   should be    amp u http   www foobar com  3Ffirst 12 26sec 25 26position 2

Rather than html encoding your URL parameter  you need to URL encode it   http   www facebook com sharer php  amp t FOOBAR amp u http 3A 2F 2Fwww foobar com 2F 3Ffirst 3D12 26sec 3D25 26position 3D   You can do this easily in most languages - in javascript   var encodedParam   encodeURIComponent  www foobar com  first 1 amp second 12 amp third 5       encodedParam    http 3A 2F 2Fwww foobar com 2F 3Ffirst 3D12 26sec 3D25 26position 3D     there are equivalent methods in other languages too

You have to escape the  amp  character  Turn your    amp    into    amp amp    and you should be good
