You can’t use two “?” in a url. So this:

http://www.tibiamaps.org/redirect.php?url=http://www.tibia.com/news/?subtopic=newsarchive&id=2097

Would need to be this:

http://www.tibiamaps.org/redirect.php?url=http://www.tibia.com/news/&subtopic=newsarchive&id=2097

Then, you would need to pull it this way:

$url = $_GET[‘url’] . “?subtopic=” . $_GET[‘subtopic’] . “&id=” . $_GET[‘id’];

Or something like that… Just typed it off the top of my head… The thing to remember is that when you read the posted arguments from the original url, the “?” and “&” no longer show up in your url. They are posted or passed to the code. So, you can use them, but, you must rebuild the url for another use. It would be good to first display the $url after you build it for testing. Hope that helps!
