When I run the code without setting a charset (defaulting to UTF-8), I get back the following: a=?????????? ???? b=????ody> When I run the code setting the charset to windows-1251, I get: a=???‡?µ?‚???????????° ?????‰?° b=??????? I'm guessing you want "a" from the first one and "b" from the second one. In which case, you are correct. Two different character encodings are being URL encoded. You could convert the first string using: convert_cyr_string(mb_convert_encoding(urldecode($a), 'ISO-8859-5', 'UTF-8'), 'i', 'w') -- --- Seairth Jacobs seairth@seairth.com
