- URL encoding the space character: + or %20? - Stack Overflow
As the aforementioned RFC does not include any reference of encoding spaces as +, I guess using %20 is the way to go today For example, "%20" is the percent-encoding for the binary octet "00100000" (ABNF: %x20), which in US-ASCII corresponds to the space character (SP)
- A html space is showing as %2520 instead of %20 - Stack Overflow
The common space character is encoded as %20 as you noted yourself The % character is encoded as %25 The way you get %2520 is when your url already has a %20 in it, and gets urlencoded again, which transforms the %20 to %2520 Are you (or any framework you might be using) double encoding characters?

- When should space be encoded to plus (+) or %20? [duplicate]
%20 is a valid way to encode a space in either of these contexts So if you need to URL-encode a string for inclusion in part of a URL, it is always safe to replace spaces with %20 and pluses with %2B This is what, e g , encodeURIComponent() does in JavaScript Unfortunately it's not what urlencode does in PHP (rawurlencode is safer) See Also
