title: php messing up link
body: <p>I'm trying to create a link as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=&lt;?= $linkAddress ?&gt;&amp;t&lt;?= $message ?&gt;"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>however, when I click the link, it takes me to the correct URL, but preceeded with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://pal.sandbox.dev.co.uk/go/music/artists/profile/show/ext/_auto/-/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which is (close to) the address of the page I've just come from.  Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?</p>
  
  <p><em>to clarify:</em></p>
  
  <p>the html generated is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fprogrammes%2Fp001d7pg&amp;t=My+music+was+broadcast"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but clicking this link takes the user to the address:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://pal.sandbox.dev.co.uk/go/music/artists/profile/show/ext/_auto/-/http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abc.co.uk%2Fprogrammes%2Fp001d7pg&amp;t=My+music+was+broadcast
  </code></pre>
