Append encoded URL to existing

Question

I'm trying to create a function to turn a link into a link to 'add link to Pocket' via getpocket.com/save.

I don't want to use the API and have users have to start logging in to their Pocket account - the /save link works if they're already logged in on the current browser.

I have:

function save_pocket($url){
    $enc = rawurlencode($url);
    $pocket = "http://getpocket.com/save/?url=";
    return $pocket.$enc;
}

save_pocket() is then called in <a href=".

But this returns either $url or $enc, I can't tell which. But the issue is it's not adding $pocket prefix.

Why?

Answer 1

Thanks for the responses, in the end it boiled down to me just being an idiot.

I was using a function which echo'd the url to pass urls into my function.

Swapped that for one that just presents url as a string, and it works like a champ.

Thanks again for tolerating my idiocy...
