full email id passing in url

Question

i am new to php .i am trying to develop a application with html and php. i passed variable from form to url.all code given below

Answer 1

You are simply seeing certain characters encoded to be URL safe (like @).

When you examine the data server-side it will look like the original data on the form. You don't have to decode anything, PHP does it for you automatically.

From the docs:

The superglobals $_GET and $_REQUEST are already decoded.

Try to echo $_GET['email'] in PHP and you'll see xyz@abc.com again.

Answer 2

Urls are encoded, that's why @ becomes %40, it comes from the way data is sent from the form/ If you use get method, this is how it will be formated in the url. But don't worry, what you get in php is correct and decoded.
