I have a string with unicode characters that I am transferring via HTTP. This string was encoded with Javascript's encodeURIcomponent(). Is there an equivalent function in php to Javascript's decodeURIComponent()?

urldecode()
However you do not need to use it on $_REQUEST variables, which are already decoded automatically.

2@ExplosionPills was that double semicolon at the end a typo? – CJT3 May 18 '13 at 10:33

4Side note: I am using `encodeURIComponent()` to pass data to a Laravel application and the request doesn't seem to automagically decode the value. – Matt K Nov 18 '16 at 22:43

1Be careful: `urldecode('+') === ' '` and `decodeURIComponent('+') === '+'`. Currently dont know why. – Илья Зеленько Jun 18 '20 at 17:39
