This is correct, but you should be using urlencode() instead of
rawurlencode(). To be frank, I don't know what the difference is,
exactly (never used the raw ones), but I think urlencode() is more
appropriate here.

You don't need to decode. This is done automatically. The "problem" is
that the so called "magic quotes" are active. These do an addslashes()
on all GET, POST... data. You can undo this with stripslashes().
