note 94686 added to function.urlencode

urlencode and rawurlencode are highly unreliable since browsers interpret everything differently, particularly the & symbol. If you want a no-nonsense way to safely encode a string to be passed as a GET variable, I recommend using... ............Sending page............ <?php $encodedString = base64_encode($complexString); echo "<a href=\"?var=".$encodedString."\">Text</a>"; ?> ............Receiving page............ <?php $decodeString = base64_decode($_GET["var"]); ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 216.207.242.34 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94686 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94686/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94686/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94686/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94686/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94686/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94686/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94686 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94686 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
