php javascript url encoding

Question

I have a html text. I had encoded it in php using urlencode function. I want to decode that text in the javascript. when i use unescape function in javascript it replaces all the special characters back but sapce is replaced by '+'. how can i do it correctly so that space is replaced as space itself???

Answer 1

Try using rawurlencode instead - urlencode does some things differently for "historical" reasons.

See http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php for more information.
