echo plus sign php

Question

Question by jose

I’m echoing a php string variable into html

<span class="title_resource">
  <?php echo  $titulo; ?>
</span>

But when the plus sign (+) is present, it turns into a space.

I’ve already tried using urlencode but then I get something like “Constru%25C3%25A7%25C3%”

Should I use something like string replace?

Thanks in advance

Update:

$titulo is setted using $_GET

if (isset($_GET['T']))// title
    $titulo = $_GET['T'];

(…)

More clear, perhaps

I want to send exactly this text “Estudo de ax^2 + bx + c”. The page receives by $_GET. When I print this value I get “Estudo de ax^2 bx c”

Answer 1

Its the way values as encoded to be sent over using GET, spaces are converted to + and + are converted to %2B.

If you really want to send the plus symbol over the form, then replace the spaces with plus

$text= str_replace(" ", "+", $text);

Next make sure your form uses correct enctype either application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data
