PHP rawUrlEncode() == JavaScript encodeURIComponent()

PHP rawUrlDecode() == JavaScript decodeURIComponent()

be ware that php urlencode is not compatible with javascript so u should use rawUrlEncode instead

Coisox Over a year ago

Working for me (((PHP))) $msg = array(); $msg['adds'] = rawUrlEncode($complexAddsWithHTMLMarkup); echo json_encode($msg); ......(((jQuery ajax dataType json))) decodeURIComponent(msg.adds);

Unfortunately, this answer is wrong for some characters. In php rawurlencode(")") == "%29" while in javascript encodeURIComponent(")") == ")".

@RégisB. To comply to RFC 3986 there is a fix on MDN. To the bottom there is a function called fixedEncodeURIComponent

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.

Parenthesis are exceptions to all of what is said in this post.

geek mode on :

false

PHP rawUrlEncode() !== JavaScript encodeURIComponent()

but true

PHP rawUrlEncode() == JavaScript encodeURIComponent()

In other words, there are many special characters that aren't treated as safe in rawurlencode when they are in encodeURIComponent.

Try this:

return decodeURIComponent((str + '').replace(/\+/g, '%20'));

I think it should be replace(/\+/g, ' '))

PHP rawUrlEncode with JS unescape (deprecated but working)

For me decodeURIComponent throw errors sometimes.
