google geocode not working for addresses with special characters from database

Question

I\'m having an issue with special characters for addresses from my database for google geocode, but not if I hardcode them.

Simple geocode code

$url = \"         


        

Answer 1

Try urlencode for database output data

Like

 $address = urlencode($row['address'])

Also remove this $address = str_replace(" ","+",$address); from current code.
