Question

I have a page sending data to .php page to insert it into db. The code is as below.

var stringInput = "gName="+gName+"&gDescription="+gDescription+"&gPreference="+gPreference;
GDownloadUrl("insertPage.php", checkSaveGeoFenceData,stringInput,"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); 

Only problem we are facing now is that for instance the gName itself have & sign as part of the information and only the part before & gets into the db. Any resolution for this?

Answer 1

You need to use urlencode() as like

$gName = urlencode($gName);

To decode it afterward in your php

$gName = urldecode($gName);

EDIT

If this is in javascript, then

var stringInput = "gName="+gName+"&gDescription="+gDescription+"&gPreference="+gPreference;

stringInput = encodeURIComponent(stringInput);
