What would be the workaround? Your assumption is way wrong. $_GET will only contain data that actually passed through a GET-method request. Decoding a URL-encoded string doesn't suddenly make it GET data. It will simply create entries in your global symbol table, or alternatively you can pass a second argument which is an array it will put the data into. As per the docs. -Rasmus
