#24354 [Opn->Csd]: "php.net/search string" redirect doesn't urldecode() before sending to google

ID: 24354 Updated by: goba@php.net Reported By: php at digdug dot cx -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: I have fixed the code to accept URL encoded values too. It wil show up in a few minutes on the site. You are required to provide a PHP version, becuase this is a general bug reporting system. We would have multiple pages to submit a bug report, in case of having type dependant elements, and many submitters would not bother with starting a new report... We try to make it simple.

However, if the search string contains spaces that are HTML-encoded, they are not decoded before being sent to Google. (Also, why am I required to select a PHP version when reporting a problem with the web site?) Reproduce code: --------------- Try this URL: http://www.php.net/strip%20html%20tags (This is the URL I end up with when I type "php.net/strip html tags" into IE or Opera) Expected result: ---------------- I expect to be taken to a search for "strip html tags" (not including the quotes) Actual result: -------------- Instead, I am taken to a search for "strip%20html%20tags" (not including the quotes) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24354&edit=1
