title: Sending HTML string via POST to PHP. Get weird characters when ECHOing it out
body: <p>So I am making a simple script where I send a HTML string via POST to PHP and when I try to echo it out it gets encoded with some weird characters</p>
  
  <p>The string Im sending:</p>
  
  <pre><code>'Yo &lt;i&gt;whats up&lt;/i&gt;'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I get when I echo it out with PHP</p>
  
  <pre><code>Yo+%3Ci%3Ewhats+up%3C%2Fi%3E 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is going on here? Is there some PHP method I can use to revert it back to the original HTML string?</p>
