Question

My PHP/Mysql search bar needs each individual word to have a “%” in-between to get it to work.

Does anyone know how to replace the SPACES sent to the url with a “%” instead of the default “+”?

Eg:
“…search.php?find=testing%speed…”

instead of:
“…search.php?find=testing+speed…”

Thanks Heaps.

Well, you can use preg_replace

try:

$pattern = '/\s/';
$string = preg_replace($pattern, '%', $your_url);

This is a regular expression to replace spaces(\s), with ‘%’.

And as guido said, you might need %20
