I have a weird problem with $_GET method. I have a php code like this:

$fopen("files/" . $_GET['file'], "r");

When i write file path parameter my self It’s run good but when I get the file name from $_GET method it shows me some error like the path is wrong.

  1. What’s wrong with it ?
  2. Is there any special encoding for $_GET method to decode it to the right string style. I tried urldecode but it wasn’t make any change.
