getting rid of % from string php/codeigniter

Question

Hi I am getting a string like this FI64%201660%203000%201176%2025 and I am trying to remove those % before putting it into the database I tried, both $str=preg_replace('/\s+/', '', $str); $string = str_replace(" ", "", $string); but did not work, So need help to remove those % from the string. I guess they are basically blank spaces from the input field.

Your string is url encoded (You need to replace %20 instead of only %, and yes, it's blank space). User urldecode for that:

echo urldecode('FI64%201660%203000%201176%2025');
//FI64 1660 3000 1176 25

So can I write it like this $IBAN = urldecode($iban); ??

@Aurora Yes if you have $iban variable defined

$iban is basically the string of 'FI64%201660%203000%201176%2025'
