[PHP] plus sign has changed to space after POST
After upgrade to 4.2.3, plus "+" sign has changed to space after POST. I have checked the mailing list but can't find any help to turn this off forever! is this a bug in PHP? thanks
RE: [PHP] plus sign has changed to space after POST
I have tried this but the problem is it change the other special character as well. For example, $ to %24, etc. If people pass a string like "abc+def$ghi", I want to save the exact string to the database rather than "abc+def%24ghi". I can't do a translation of %24 to $ before saving the string to the database because user might input a string like "abc+%3423324hello%23ddd" "John W.

PHP will automatically urldecode() the values passed in the URL apparently. If you are trying to pass an actual + sign, you need to encode it with urlencode() or rawurlencode(). ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

might be my php code has problem the following code fragment will keep "+" to "+" but "$" to "%24" "John W.

Use $url_safe = urlencode($string); and pass $url_safe in the URL. Then on the receiving end, use $back_to_normal = urldecode($url_safe_string); ---John Holmes... > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 7:06 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [PHP] plus sign has changed to space after POST > > I have tried this but the problem is it change the other special character > as well.

RE: [PHP] plus sign has changed to space after POST
This is the problem that I describe earlier in the thread. I can't save %24 in the database but "$". ie a user send a string "abc+def$ghi", I need to get the exact string back but not "abc+def%24ghi". so is this a bug in PHP?? "John W.

Re: [PHP] plus sign has changed to space after POST
finally, I have this issue solved.
I have recompiled PHP "without" this
--enable-mbstr-enc-trans
For those who said they have no problem with the "+" sign, tried to
compile your PHP with the option above and tried it out!!! ;)
I know this is not a PHP bug but I am curious how people handle the "+"
sign issue when they have this option support in their php..

That's a terrible idea.
Not only does this avoid fixing the real issue (tries to fix the
symptom instead of the problem), you're telling him to change all
spaces to + signs.
Imagine a form asking for your name. You enter "Hugh Danaher" only to
see it translated into "Hugh+Danaher" on the server.
