Space in URL

lian_a · June 23rd, 2004, 05:24 AM

Hi there! I have a text box whose value will be appended to a URL. If there are spaces in the text box, how do they get encoded in the URL? Will the white space be changed to "%27" or to "+"?

I've researched that the max length of URL is 2,048 characters. Will a white space consume more than one character?

Oops..I meant "%20", not "%27"

I hope someone can help me on this..Thanks!

It gets encoded as %20

So it should be 3 characters, if at all you store the encoded value.

Dear you can simply trencate spaces by using methode of
trim()

Love 4 all

Hi qazi_nomi,

But one cannot use trim function to remove the space that is within a string value like "my name" cannot be trimmed as "myname" using trim()

Cheers!
