++ probs

[tinker]

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?

So whats the problem?

[tinker]

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

[papaface]

You're not supposed to have special characters in your file names thats why.

Remove the '+''s or chose something other than +'s

it works without complaint elsewhere and it's a client input thing. Also i have no probs from bash and it something id like to continue using, so im still looking for solution, cheers

try

<?php
if (isset($_GET['title']))
{
    echo 'Title is : ' . $_GET['title'] . '<br>';
}

$str = 'C++.html';

$str = urlencode($str);

echo "<a href='?title=$str'>Click here</a>";
?>

it's probably already doing that because it runs through mod_rewrite
