urldecode

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 27.2004

I have a list in a form which is filled form a database.
Some items in the list have white spaces, this is an option example:

“La Manga del Mar Menor”

When I submit the form, what arrives to processing PHP is only “La”, the rest is missing on the way.
I guess I have to use the urlencode in the form:

<option value=<? echo (urlencode($opciones)); ?>>

But I do not know exactly how to decode it in the next page, even though I have been looking at the example in manual.

@YoNJan 27.2004 — I think it's [URL=http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php]urlencode()[/URL] for the form and [URL=http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php]urldecode()[/URL] to return to the original value in the next page.

HTH

@crh3675Jan 27.2004 — First off, you need to quote the value in the option box:

<option value="<? echo($opciones)); ?>">

That is why it is not returning correctly. And NO, you do not need to use urlencode.

Third, you can simplify your code to look as follows:

<option value="<?=$opciones;?>">

@PerfidusauthorJan 27.2004 — I have put echo between "" and when I look at source code in the website, the "" do not appear:

<option value=La Manga del Mar Menor>La Manga del Mar Menor</option>

I have also echo the variable in the page that processes the form and I only get "La" instead "La Manga del Mar Menor"

Any hints?

@crh3675Jan 28.2004 — You are doing something wrong because if you use this code:

<option value="<?=$opciones;?>">

I promise you will get the correct results.
