url encoding

[Anon]

Hi,

Could you please tell me "what is URL encoding"? "Provide a situation where the browser would send the information as URL encoding using the GET method".

Thanks in advance

Go to a search enging such as http://www.google.com/ and type more than one word in the box, such as "php mysql" and then look at the query string displayed by the browser. The browser encoded the space as a plus sign because a space isn't a valid character in query strings.

Since that sounds so much like a question for a quiz 😉
