space and plus

[Rainer Wiener]

Hi,

When I pass a variable e.g. action= I2OSg2/49FeviZi4PjUm+w == across the
url
and into a php program it is coming in to the program as

I2OSg2/49FeviZi4PjUm w== instead of I2OSg2/49FeviZi4PjUm+w == i.e. the
'+'
symbol is now being interpreted as a space.

Is this a bug in PHP 4.4.1 (on bugs.php.net I can't find anything) or a problem of the programmers?

This is not the bug - just sign "+" should be URL ecoded before sent to
script.
Looks like you going to type it directly in address bar.

This is perfectly normal. Since URLs are not allowed to contain
spaces, most browsers replace them with "+" signs. You need to make
sure that you urlencode() your variables.
