Discussion

URLDECODE() decodes text that has been urlencoded. The function creates a character string by replacing the escape characters in the Encoded_URL_String with their normal ASCII equivalents.

Example

? urldecode("text%2dvalue%3dfoo%20bar%3b")
= "text-value=foo bar;"

? urldecode("text%2Dvalue%3Dfoo%20bar%3B")
= "text-value=foo bar;"

? urldecode("text%2dvalue%3dfoo bar%3b")
= "text-value=foo bar;"

? urldecode("text-value%3dfoo%20bar%3b")
= "text-value=foo bar;"

? urldecode("text-value%3Dfoo bar%3B")
= "text-value=foo bar;"
