share an url with multiple url variables using facebook sharer.php

Question

I have an url i would like users to share using facebook sharer.php

http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?s=100&p[title]=$title>&p[summary]=$descp&p[images][0]=$image&p[url]=$url)

where $url is the url i would like to share. the structure of my url is as follows

...apparently, facebook seems to scrap out the rest of the url after encountering the 1st '&' on my url.

Decoding the url din't help either. Is there a way i can pass the full url plus the variables in it to be shared with the rest of the details?

"Make sure you URL encode the u and t parameters" - See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share/ towards the bottom under "Creating Your Own Share URL" — AllisonC, Nov 14 '11 at 13:24

Send your entire url encoded. So & of your url will be replaced with %26. I found it. Thanks for your question.

This one works. The accepted answer doesn't work. I didn't even have to encode the entire URL, I just had to change `&variable=value` to `%26variable=value`. – M - Dec 11 '14 at 21:33

This one doesn't work for me. Tried it before I came searching for a solution. The other answer does, however. – QuestionerNo27 Dec 09 '13 at 02:09

It seems you are using PHP, so you can simply use urlencode($url) when you construct the sharer URL (instead of just $url).
