note 104650 added to function.urldecode

Having a problem with reserved HTML words in the URL being decoded. The code in question is below: <?php $baseURL = "http://host/result?thing=foo&quotes=BAR"; $encodedURL = urlencode($baseURL); echo "Encoded URL: $encodedURL<br>\n"; echo "URL " . urldecode($encodedURL) ."<br>\n"; ?> Results in: Encoded URL: http%3A%2F%2Fhost%2Fresult URL = host/result?thing=foo"es=BAR (I removed the http:// bit to avoid confusiong with auto-formatting) It appears that the urldecode() function is decoding %26quotes to &quotes first, then decoding that to "es I'm not sure what I"m going to do about it: perhaps escape quotes before encoding? ---- Server IP: 117.55.229.1 Probable Submitter: 209.115.153.68 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104650 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104650/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104650/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104650/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104650/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104650/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104650/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104650 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104650 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
