That is correct. + is space when url is encoded. Server will decode those for you. If you want to get the encoded version, then encode it again using urlencode() function.

Thanks + is now seen!!

And I have very similar problem:

when I am pulling data from database, and there are characters < > -> they are erased from the string.

How can I get data without loosing data?

ThankS!!

They are there but you just wont see them(Check the html source from your browser). If you want to show those from the browser, use for example htmlspecialchars() function when outputting that. You should always do that when printing the output to browser unless theres actual html you want the browser to parse.
