[SOLVED] Form Get

[WorldDrknss]

This is probably a simple one but I am having problems with a search feature.

I use get as for my form method and I use mysql boolean mode for my searches.

My get variable returns:

search.php?srch=guides+procedures%2Bbylaws

I know the plus symbol is a space and %2B is suppose to equal a literal plus symbol but using the php function urldecode also turns that string into a space also.

 

I have tried:

$searchtxt = str_replace("%2B", "#43", $_GET['srch']); $srchr = urldecode($searchtxt);

and

str_replace("%2B", "#43", urldecode($_GET['srch'])

and I am stumped. It's probably because it is something so simple.

 

TIA

You will want to use rawurldecode instead of urldecode. This function returns a string in which the sequences with percent (%) signs followed by two hex digits have been replaced with literal characters where as urldecode just decodes any %## encoding.
