I am trying to pass a text by parameter (with whitespaces) to the load function and it seems it doesn't work.
Currently i am doing this:
var text ="hello world this is an example";
$("#selector").load("http://"+ document.domain + "/myfunction/"+text);
Is there any way to do it?
If i call the function by URL directly, not with jQuery, it works well.
Thanks.
You should encode "text" with encodeURI:
var text = encodeURI('hello world this is an example');
This will ensure that your whitespaces are replaced with url compatible characters, which your browser does internally when you're directly accessing the url.
Calling the function by URL directly might works well in your browser. But it is not future proof. You must encode your url with encodeURI function. After appending user given data.
var text ="hello world this is an example",
url = encodeURI("http://"+ document.domain + "/myfunction/"+ text);
$("#selector").load(url);
And on server side you can do something like this to get back user entered data.
$data = urldecode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
// This will return
// /myfunction/hello world this is an example
