What's wrong with my URL?
sub.domain.com?vid=105008499&fn=JOHN&ln=SMITH&str=29 ROYAL DR&cty=TALLAHASSEE&st=FL&zp=30309&company=BMI&title=CTO
When I tried to make this URL into a Link in my email client, it ignored it. Is it obvious what the problem is?
Thanks

Ah! @Dr. Klahn's eyesight is better than mine, as he caught the spaces in "str=29 ROYAL DR".
URLs must be "encoded", so ever occurrence of whitespace collapses into %20.
More likely this is the problem than the missing
https://
protocol selector.
The fix for this will be to build a URL, then do this in your PHP code.
$url = urlencode($url);
Select all
Open in new window
This will encode... transform... many human readable characters as required to be correctly encoded.
