Convert URL and replce special chars

[rajendernreddy]

Hi All,

I have a question I am writing some code that stores that page url in the cookie like this:

setcookie("access" , ($SESSION[URL].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), time() + 400);
It creates cookie but including special chars like as follows:

http%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.com%2Fcontent%2Fstudio.php

But I want to use this cookie in next page but url needs to converted into like

http://mydomain.com/content/studio.php

please help me out to covert that url into proper one.

Thanks
Raj
