A plus should be %XX where XX is the Hex representation of the ASCII value of '+'... Your other option would be to use explode() instead of parse_str() or split(). parse_str() is going to use the URL rules such as changing %20 or + to a space. split() should not be doing that, I don't think, but *will* do some RegExp matching stuff which is overkill for what you probably need.
