Michael, It appears like this query belongs to a PHP community and not for the Kannel group.
In any case, something looks wrong here because "john_b...@yahoo.com" is NOT "john%C2%A7best%C2%A1yahoo.com" even when you URL encode it. If all is right with the input from the mobile, then *rawurlencode()* and * urlencode()* should do the work for you. The links below would enable you know when to use which function. http://php.net/manual/en/function.rawurlencode.php http://php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php -- Regards Kenny On Fri, Feb 8, 2013 at 12:46 AM, Singularnet <singular...@gmail.com> wrote: > > What about rawurldecode ? > > On Thursday, February 7, 2013, michael osakede wrote: > >> thanks but that resulted in >> Test??mcv.Com, i sent t...@mcv.com. >> >> any more ideas? >> >> >> Use url_decode($_GET['text']) >> SlyDroid >> On Feb 7, 2013 8:05 PM, "michael osakede" <ire...@yahoo.com> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> Please can anyone help with a php code to decode email addresses. >> please see sample >> >> ?sender=%2B2348051154967&text=john%C2%A7best%C2%A1yahoo.com+&to=33180 >> i want to convert text to john_b...@yahoo.com. >> >> Right now i just endup with >> john??b...@yahoo.com" (non-printable character)- from my mail log. >> >> Any help is appreciated. >> >> Michael >> >> >> >>
