Hi, i am using server.URLencode and is fine but when the url lands on the other side i need it to decode but so far i have had no luck in finding something that will do it. Any help that anyone can offer be would be great.

For example, the url comes out like this
http://phreakyphonez.co.uk/download/...918&b=46769927

and i need it to come out last this

http://phreakyphonez.co.uk/download/...918&b=46769927

If i can't decode the string then it won't pick up on the ses. Thanks for any help

here's one I wrote earlier URLDecode

This may seem like a silly question but how do i call on that function? Dio place the code on the landing page? thanks

just llike any other function

strReturn = URLDecode(strIn)

make sure the function is available either in your included function library or in the page it is required on

Sorry, i should have mentioned that i am new to using functions. I am still quite new to ASP. I have the function itself on an included file but do i just place <%=strReturn = URLDecode(strIn)%> on the page for the url which i wanted de-coding? thanks for your help.

There always seems to be this confusion over functions. Using a UDF (User Defined Function) is no different to using predefined functions.

so just as you can use, say ucase(strIn) to convert a string to all uppercase in two ways
strOut = ucase(strIn) to assign the output from the function to a variable
or
<%=ucase(strIn)%> to send the output direct to the output device

UDFs are no different
strReturn = URLDecode(strIn) would assign the output value
<% = URLDecode(strIn)%> would write the output to the browser.
