Bug #80277 [Nab]: parse_url & parse_str problems with values with percentage

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80277&edit=1 ID: 80277 User updated by: nnikolay at gmail dot com Reported by: nnikolay at gmail dot com Summary: parse_url & parse_str problems with values with percentage Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: URL related Operating System: Debian 10 PHP Version: 7.4.11 Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: But this makes nonsense! Why should I convert the "%" to "%25" before I gave it to the function parse_url? Why the function parse_url & parse_str do not make it? If this is so, why I should not convert "&" to "%26" and all the other characters? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-10-23 15:09:54] cmb@php.net Percent characters in an URI introduce a percent-encoded[1] character, and parse_url() and parse_str() interpret it as such. A literal percent character would have to be written as %25 in an URI, see <https://3v4l.org/2C3Bo>.
