PHP urlencode一个URL发布字段

Question

I am using curl to call an API POST and pass 15 post fields, one being an actual wbsite URL. For example

https://www.test.com?URL=https://www.myurl.com;&Name=John

Using urlencode converts the characters in the URL post field and the API receiving the POST call does not recognize it as an actual URL. Is there any way to keep the URL string as is when positing?

Answer 1

If you are using GET query arguments, you need to urlencode the value, then decode it on the backend:

https://www.test.com?URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.myurl.com

And then:

urldecode($_GET['url'])

For POST , the same is true for application/x-www-form-urlencoded , but doesn't matter for application/json .

Also, just a heads up, you have an extra ; in your URL, which would make it invalid if you included it.

Edit:

I will additionally add, that in general, it's good practice to always urldecode values received from query arugments/form data. The general thought here being that, while you may not want urlencoded data, that's the way the web is built - You should build your code in a way that it's up to the client. This is considered an important step in data sanitation, and should always happen before validation.

Answer 2

您可以使用php内置方法来解码url编码的数据。

$actualUrl = urldecode ($_GET ['url']);
