GET varaibles with irregular characters

Hello,

I'm writing some application that authenticates users via LDAP. When
user going to login he sends user/pass by GET request to the
application adn gets his ID back.

Some users that have irregular characters in the password ( !^&%@#... )
can not login. I tried to encode password ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])
with urlencode() and base64_encode() but it does not solve the
proplem...

Any suggestions will be thankful !


Thanks,
Slava

Please post code samples (including HTML form for user input,
PHP code recieving data from the HTML form and PHP code
using the data in LDAP functions).

The user:host@example.org-Scheme is nether supported by RFC, nor by
Internet Explorer (patched since 2003?). So using this is considered
harmful.

And, please use example.(com|net|org) for examples in future, as specified
in RFC2606.
