PHP + AJAX send data (link) trouble

I use my own AJAX code to send data, it worked, AJAX sent & PHP code gets a variable, but:

When I try send a link ( ex: http://abc.com/abc+/ ) or var like folder name has + it return string without +.

AJAX sends data as &data='+encodeURIComponent(data)+' and PHP gets urldecode($data);

My problem is how to get PHP get variable from POST data without removing the + char from my string.

Solution

  • Use rawurldecode() in PHP. rawurldecode() does not decode plus symbols (+) into spaces while urldecode() does.

    This way, whether your JavaScript sends the plus character as the literal string + or as the encoded string %2B, PHP will decode it as a plus character.
