Question

I have something like this :

code.js

var params = {
  option1 : encodeURIComponent("text\n text\n text\n\n\n"), 
  option2 : encodeURIComponent("\n\n\n text")
};
$.getJSON("/update_user_info", params, function(data) {});

/update_user_info

<?php
   foreach($_GET as &$data) $data=urldecode($data);
   /*CODE*/
   echo json_encode($some_result);
?>

But my \n are removed or replaced with whitespaces

is it possible to keep newlines in GET request?

P.S: I have to make full ajax website, so I can’t use forms with regular “POST” method, submit buttons and so on.

Answer 1

Use nl2br to convert your newlines to HTML breaks
