Those characters are url encoded. If you were to do: <?php echo $_GET['myvar1']; ?> ...and then viewed the source you'd see actual html and not the %x characters. If the data you're receiving should not have any html in it you should use htmlspecialchars() to convert things like < and > to < and >, which are harmless to the browser and will simply print < and > to the screen. Viewing the source will show you < and >. Chris. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
