Hi thorpe thanks where do I add this urlencode?

[aliento]

when you recieve the data and when you send them

[aliento]

or when you recieve the dataq str_replace(' ', '+', $request);

urlencode () and rawurlencode () are both Output Escaping functions, which means you only use them right before outputting the content to the relevant system. In this case, just before sending the string in a header () call or adding it to a href or src attribute. (In the latter case, you'll want to use htmlspecialchars () as well.

 

Note that you do not use output escaping functions when you retrieve content from the user, that's where Input Validation (which is a different beast) comes into play.

 

PS: Note that you want to use the URL encode functions for the GET parameters only, and not the whole address.
