Re: stripping %20 and other characters from query string

Sarah, There are a couple functions that could do this for you. Probably the fastest one for your example would be as follows. $NewString = str_replace('%20', ' ', $value); // Removes the %20 characters $NewString = str_replace '\', '', $NewString); // Removes \ character echo $NewString; http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php On Thursday, February 6, 2003, at 03:39 PM, Sarah Gray wrote:

Hello, Forgive me if this is an obvious question, but I am passing a value (a string with spaces and quotations) back in a query string and do not know how to strip the extra characters that have been placed into it. For example. $value = "Sarah's Test Page" query string = mypage.php?value=Sarah\\\'s%20Test%20Page echo $value = Sarah\\\'s%20Test%20Page What is the command to strip out these extra space and escape characters so that when I echo $value it prints out "Sarah's Test Page"?
