I have the following php snippet giving me a list of taxonomy terms for a certain vocab and certain content type.

<?php $vid = 4; $items = array(); $type = manager; $terms = taxonomy_get_tree($vid); foreach ( $terms as $term ) { $count = db_result(db_query("SELECT COUNT(term_node.nid) FROM {term_node} JOIN {node} ON node.nid = term_node.nid WHERE node.type = '%s' AND tid = %d", $type, $term->tid)); $items[] = l($term->name, "personnel-search?type=$term->tid") . " ($count)"; } if ( count($items) ) { print theme('item_list', $items);} ?>

the problem is in the bolded line, specifically the question mark and equal sign. I get a taxonomy list like this:

retail (3) accounts (2) IT (1)

when I hover over these, the links look perfect down in the status bar, but when I click on them, they come out in the URL bar as such:

...personnel-search%3Ftype%3D25

and thus give me a 404. Is there an easy way of encoding it right?

thanks

Neil
