If so, that's perfectly normal and nothing to worry about -- it should be automatically decoded by the Web server before being passed to PHP. If you're seeing the encoded version actually in your PHP script, that sounds like a major problem, possibly indicating a missing urldecode() or extraneous urlencode() -- in which case, please post a more detailed analysis of your problem, examples of the unwanted behaviour, and the relevant portions of script.
