Thanks, now I have the entire string and according to the php manual I
should be able to decode the URL with rawurldecode()
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.rawurldecode.php

But for some reason I am unable to translate the string back to the
original version.

Original: %^&*()_+{}|:"< >?`1
Passed:   %^&amp;*()_+{}|:"&lt; &gt;?`1
rawurldec:%^&amp;*()_+{}|:"&lt; &gt;?`1

Any idea why it won't decode? Do I have to write my own decode function?
The test code is:       
        $decode = rawurldecode($_GET['worootp']);
        echo $decode;
