URL encoding and decoding is done completely outwith PHP in this case -- the encoding to %xx is done by the browser, and automatically decoded by the Web server on the way through to PHP. You should never see the %xx versions in your script, and will have no need of urldecode(). The main problem with the above snippet that I can see is that there's very unlikely to be such a thing as $_POST["Ind[]"] -- form fields with name="Ind[]" will turn up as an array in $_POST["Ind"] ($_POST["Ind"][0], $_POST["Ind"][1], etc.). But the whole snippet looks very odd -- why are you trying to pass POSTed values as GET variables on (I presume) a form action?? Can you post a little context to the list to give us some idea what you're really trying to do. Cheers!
