I'm trying to go from javascript (making the call) to php.

For example:

function getData()
{
var user = "user1" ;
var item = encodeURI( "Item #1" ) ;
xmlHttp.open( 'GET' , 'addData.php?user=' + user + '&item=' +
item ) ;
}


However, the encodeURI() function on the string give returns the
following:

Item%20#1

So, it is leaving the pound sign, which is messing me up.

Any other thoughts? Perhaps I'm not using the functions correctly?

Thanks for the help!

Chad
