Sorry, don't have time to go through your code or to look up the regex way of doing this, but you can translate then decode the plus sign fairly easily. One really basic example: $plussign = "+"; echo "Plus: $plussign\n"; $plussign = "&#" . ord($plussign) .";"; echo "HTML Entity Plus: $plussign\n"; $plussign = chr(substr($plussign,2,strlen($plussign)-3)); echo "HTML Entity Converted Back: $plussign\n"; The plus sign should pass through a POST ok, but in a GET the plus sign is used to represent spaces in a URL sometimes. Ampersands, equal signs, forward (and probably back) slashes, colons and question marks are also used in URLs (might have forgot some). Since GET puts all the data through a URL, you need to be aware of the reserved characters used in URLs. You shouldn't have this problem through a POST transaction though. I'm not aware of anything that won't pass through POST, but I'm sure there's something. There's almost always a way to transfer text into something that'll pass through POST or GET without screwing things up. Easier to change the code than change the users. -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: George Pitcher [mailto:george.pitcher@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 9:43 AM > To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: Passing +, =, - at post and get > > > And doing a bit more, I find that '=' and '-' are passing > through OK so I'll > need to train my users to use an alternative to '+'. -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
