The Note You're Voting On

$_GET may not handle query string parameter values which include escaped Unicode values resulting from applying the JavaScript "escape" function to a Unicode string.
To handle this the query parameter value can be obtained using a function such as:
function getQueryParameter ($strParam) {
$aParamList = explode('&', $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
$i = 0;
while ($i < count($aParamList)) {
$aParam = split('=', $aParamList[$i]);
if ($strParam == $aParam[0]) {
return $aParam[1];
}
}
return "";
}
or by directly building an array or query string values and then processing the parameter string using a function such as the "unescape" function which can be found at http://www.kanolife.com/escape/2006/03/unicode-url-escapes-in-php.html (or http://www.kanolife.com/escape/ for related info).
