display + sign from the query string url using php

Question

Im trying to send a query string in url

for ex : url : localhost/myfile.php?number=8777,+9822,+9883

in myfile.php when i give echo the query string :

echo $_REQUEST['number'];

output :

 8777,9822,9883

but the expected output is :

8777,+9822,+9883

How can i display + sign also.

UPDATE :

actually that url is web request from the android/ios device app,

im providing webservice in php,

so android/ios developers are sending request with a querystring contains + sign

so how can i handle this situation?

url encode your url.localhost/myfile.php?number=8777,%2B9822,%2B9883 — bansi

+ is reserved. PHP is correct in translating an unencoded + sign to a space.

You can use urlencode() urldecode() for this. The + must be submitted in PHP as the encoded value: %2B

You should then use urlencode() function to create that url:

<?php

var_dump($_GET['number']);

echo 'http://localhost/myfile.php?number='.urlencode('8777,+9822,+9883');

EDIT

If this is url that you receiving and cannot do anything with that you can use for example:

echo substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'=')+1);

and you will get

8777,+9822,+9883

Sorry, i dont know what you're trying to do, but here's a suggestion

// where base64_encode('8777,+9822,+9883') = ODc3NywrOTgyMiwrOTg4Mw

localhost/myfile.php?number=ODc3NywrOTgyMiwrOTg4Mw

// on myfile.php

echo base64_decode($_REQUEST['number']);

// this will output -> 8777,+9822,+9883

UPDATE --------------------------- if you have no other choice , you can use this

<?php
// get URL query string
$params = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; 

// if you have $params = www.mydomain.com/myfile.php?number=9988,+9876,+8768
$temp = explode('=', $params);
echo $temp[1] .'<hr>';


// if you have $params = www.mydomain.com/myfile.php?number=9988,+9876,+8768&number2=123,+456,+789
$params2 = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; 
$temp3 = explode('&', $params2);
foreach($temp3 as $val){
    $temp4 = explode('=', $val);
    // # // $GET = $temp4[0]; // if you need the GET VALUES
    $VALUE = $temp4[1];
    echo $VALUE .'<br>';
}
?>

Hope this helps.... :)
