echoing out # symbol when pulling emails from mysql database in WP page - mysql

Question

Here is the code I'm using that is pulling all data fields nicely from mysql database. But email addresses are being displayed as user%40domainname.com instead of standard email output of user#domainname.com.
$myData = mysql_query($sql);
echo "<table class='table table-hover table-bordered table-striped'>
<tr>
<th>Username</th>
<th>Email</th>
<th>Score</th>
</tr>";
while($record = mysql_fetch_array($myData)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $record['id'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $record['email'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $record['score'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";

Answer 1

You can use urldecode to solve this:
$email = 'user%40domainname.com';
echo urldecode($email); //user#domainname.com

... or in your case you can use the following while loop:
while($record = mysql_fetch_array($myData)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $record['id'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . urldecode($record['email']) . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $record['score'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
