[++ probs]

the +'s are replaced by space's, which when checked with ord are 32 not 43, therefore how to encode to stay as +'s

[++ probs]

i got a string, 'C++.html', on the first usage when it comes out of database it ok, but then it not, i try lots of things such as,

echo htmlspecialchars('C++.html')."<br>";
echo htmlentities("C++.html")."<br>";	
$sret .= "<br>:".bin2hex("+").":".urlencode("+").":".rawurlencode("+").":".utf8_encode("+").":<br>";

also i try decode counterparts for each case...

when it appear in page or url it comes out as two spaces, when i run one through 'ord' it say 32, but + is 43 ascii

 

anybody know why or how to fix please?
