note 18197 added to function.urldecode

urldecode() function is not supporting UNICODE characters coding, like %u0627 for the Arabic letter ALEF (ا in HTML). So when you are passing the Unicode chars through GET/POST, you will get only encoded string: http://server.com/test.php?test=%u062D%u0645%u0627%u062F%u0629 in test.php: print('test = '.$test); you will get: test = %u062D%u0645%u0627%u062F%u0629 You have to "manually" convert it to html entitles: ------------------------------------------------------------ function unicode_decode($txt) { return ereg_replace('%u0([[:alnum:]]{3})', '&#x\1;',$txt); } ------------------------------------------------------------ -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+18197 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+18197 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+18197
