is PHP auto-urldecoding my querystring?

Hi, don't know if it is a PHP problem, something wrong with the ini file, or
apache...
I'm passing a urlencoded string to a PHP page and on that page, when i echo
$QUERY_STRING variable, it shows it undecoded.
On other servers i've done test pages, and $QUERY_STRING is encoded when i
echo it.

PHP version is 4.3.3 on Red Hat AS 2.1

Alex.

It seems that the issue with this is that i'm calling the URL through a
javascript window.open()
Any tips to avoid JS unencoding my string??
