Sending URL Gets with spaces to php page problem

[tateyaku]

In my app, a user clicks a cell to view a detail screen which pulls information from a php page that generates xml. Everything is working great, except for the table cell's values that have spaces in it.

When there is a space, the value is still sent to the detail page, and sent to the php page, but it doesn't show up correctly. When I type the value into the php and use the app to send any information then it works great.

Is there a piece of coding I type in the app to make the submitted value a certain type, like unicode? Or can I type something in the php page that will translate it into normal text? I've been searching for hours, but I just don't know what to search for to find this answer.

Please help!

I don't know a lot about PHP, but try if it helps to enter

utf8_encode($String)

into the PHP file....

How are you sending the data to the PHP script?

//value works with no spaces, but does not work with spaces
NSString *sortedBy = @"value"; 
	NSString *url = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"http:domain/page.php?sortedBy=%@&viewBy=%@", sortedBy, viewBy];
	NSURL *path = [NSURL URLWithString:url];
	[url release];
	
	NSMutableDictionary *d = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:path];
	self.viewInfo = d;
	[d release];

You need to use the stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF 8StringEncoding function.
