AJAX POST and Plus Sign -- How to Encode

Question

I m POSTing the contents of a form field via AJAX to a PHP script and using JavaScript to escape field contents    The problem is that any plus signs are being stripped out and replaced by spaces   How can I safely  encode  the plus sign and then appropriately  decode  it on the PHP side

The hexadecimal value you are looking for is %2B

To get it automatically in PHP run your string through urlencode($stringVal). And then run it rhough urldecode($stringVal) to get it back.

~~If you want the JavaScript to handle it, use escape( str )~~

Edit

After @bobince's comment I did more reading and he is correct. Use encodeURIComponent(str) and decodeURIComponent(str). Escape will not convert the characters, only escape them with \'s

If you have to do a curl in php  you should use urlencode   from PHP but individually   strPOST    Item1      Value1     amp Item2     urlencode        If you do urlencode strPOST   you will bring you another problem  you will have one Item1 and  amp  will be change  xx value and be as one value  see down here the return   Example 1   strPOST    Item1      Value1     amp Item2     urlencode      will give Item1 Value1 amp Item2  2B   Example 2   strPOST   urlencode  Item1      Value1     amp Item2     will give Item1 3DValue1 26Item2 3D 2B   Example 1 is the good way to prepare string for POST in curl  Example 2 show that the receptor will not see the equal and the ampersand to distinguish both value

To make it more interesting and to hopefully enable less hair pulling for someone else   Using python  built dictionary for a device which we can use curl to configure   Problem    timezone    5      throws an error   5   Solution    timezone    2B   5      Works  So  in a nutshell   var     timezone    2B   5   json   JSONEncoder   encode var  subprocess call   curl  ipaddress  -XPUT   -d   data   json     Thanks to this post

Use encodeURIComponent   in JS and in PHP you should receive the correct values    Note  When you access   GET    POST or   REQUEST in PHP  you are retrieving values that have already been decoded    Example    In your JS      url encode your string var string   encodeURIComponent            2B     send it to your server window location    http   example com  string   string     http   example com  string  2B   On your server   echo   GET  string             It is only the raw HTTP request that contains the url encoded data    For a GET request you can retrieve this from the URI    SERVER  REQUEST URI   or   SERVER  QUERY STRING    For a urlencoded POST  file get contents  php   stdin    NB    decode   only works for single byte encoded characters  It will not work for the full UTF-8 range    eg   text     u0100      A    incorrect escape text       u0100     correct encodeURIComponent text        C4 80    Note    C4 80  is equivalent to  escape   xc4 x80    Which is the byte sequence   xc4 x80  that represents A in UTF-8  So if you use encodeURIComponent   your server side must know that it is receiving UTF-8  Otherwise PHP will mangle the encoding
