plus character missing in lighttpd php

Question

I create a php file containing the following codes:

<?php
print_r ($_GET);
?>

And I make a request from browser:

http://localhost/Study/php/get.php?test=1,+

I got the following message:

Array ( [test] => 1, )

the plus "+" is missing, but when i use minus "-" instead of plus "+" it's ok.

http://localhost/Study/php/get.php?test=1,-

generate the following message:

Array ( [test] => 1,- )

I use lighttpd with php.

The plus sign is a special character in urls: It represents a space. — matthias, Oct 19 '12 at 08:49
`+` is an alias of `%20` which is a space. Use `%2B` instead of `+` to if you want to represent a plus character. — Ultimater, Oct 19 '12 at 08:52

The plus sign is a special character in urls: It represents a space. Use the appropriate variant that uses url encoding:

http://localhost/Study/php/get.php?test=1,%2B
