Hi. Welcome to the forums

See if this decoding function helps on decoding it: http://php.net/manual/en/function.ht...ity-decode.php

If not, please post the code and include the samples of the output you are getting and you were expecting.

Hello
ty for replying

my problem still - i can encode the data before posting it - but the problem that it will be shown as encoded - and i cant decode it because i dont own the other side - its posting to other place

Here is code :
$link = "www.site.com"

$datatopost = array (

'textarea_21234' => "firstdata" <iamherehihowru>",
'name' => "samy",

);
$c=curl_init();
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.2) Gecko/20110201");
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,15);
curl_setopt ($c, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $datatopost);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT ,60);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$crdata=curl_exec($c);
curl_close($c);



everything is good and able to post but when i check the textarea which my data should go to it i see it show this only

"firstdata"

and <iamherehihowru> total disapeared due to <> - problem that if i used urlencode as example it will be like this %3Ciamherehihowru%3E and this i dont want - i want it be shown as <> in the other side inside Textarea
