Url econding forward slashes not working as expeced

Question

Hi,

Im populating a form with values from $_GET. I wish to have / in some fields and I thought url encoding the / to %2f would resolve the issue.

However page.php?val=mysite.com%2fdirectory still breaks the functionality. The browser Im using (Chrome) converts the %2f to / in the url bar. And in my form the value is cut off just before the /.

Any advice appreciated, Thanks.
