title: Disable HTML URL encoding for GET parameter for query
body: <p>I'm currently developing a table layout.
  The tables are using a paginator and a filter function in PHP.</p>
  
  <p>All values are transmitted as GET parameters.</p>
  
  <p>For example, the paginator will use &amp;limit=20&amp;page=5.
  The filter is built upon a table row in thead as input fields.
  What I mean is that each column has it's own input field.</p>
  
  <p>Once the submit button is clicked, it will pass the data via GET to itself, so the next pageview will query/filter the data correctly.</p>
  
  <p>For example, if I want to filter the postcode the url will be as following:
  &amp;limit=20&amp;page=5&amp;postcode=5</p>
  
  <p>Because I'm allowing searches like %5% to show all postcodes where 5 where the result is not limited to 5 only. It will show all data which has a 5 at any spot of the value.</p>
  
  <p>However, if I want to filter the postcodes showing all results with 58, I will type in %58%. As per URL encoding, unfortunately, the URL won't be &amp;postcode=%58% as expected. It will be &amp;postcode=X%.</p>
  
  <p>The question is whether it is somehow possible to get the correct values into the URL?</p>
  
  <p>The problem lays on browser level. If I would change the URL from &amp;postcode=X% to &amp;postcode=%58% directly and hit enter, Chrome would translate it straight away to X%.</p>
  
  <p>Maybe it's possible somehow with meta tags, http headers, or Javascript, etc.</p>
  
  <p>I'm doing it via GET instead of POST because it was - apparently - simpler to integrate with the paginator.</p>
  
  <p>Sorry for my bad English. Any help would be much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot.</p>
