Special characters reverting from code

I’m working on a contact form to API where the information is passed into a TenStreet API. The Company Name field includes an & in it. In order for the XML to validate and run, the ‘& amp ;’ or ‘& #038 ;’ need to be used, but each time I add them to the XML, the form automatically changes them back to an &. In order to authorize the data to post to the API, the data needs to match.

Right now, the & which is automatically replaced escapes the XML and when removing it, the data won’t authorize with TenStreet’s API.

Assistance to get this working is appreciated!

Thanks!

You can use the cf7api_create_record hook to fix the record as you wish

add_filter( 'cf7api_create_record' , 'fix_encoding_or_something_else' , 10 , 5 );

function fix_encoding_or_something_else( $record , $submited_data , $qs_cf7_data_map , $type , $template ){
   //manipulate the record as you see fit ($record)

   //dont forget to return the $record
   return $record;
}

I have what I think to be a similar issue. I need to send and API key that contains “%” and a username that contains “@”. These characters are being encoded and received by the remote server as “%25” in replace of “%” and “%40” in replace of “@”. How can I prevent the encoding with the above filter?

I tried this:

function fix_encoding_or_something_else( $record , $submited_data , $qs_cf7_data_map , $type , $template ){
   //manipulate the record as you see fit ($record)
   //$record = urldecode($record);
	$urldecode = $record['url'];
	$urldecode = urldecode($urldecode); 
	$record['url'] = $urldecode;
   //dont forget to return the $record
   return $record;
}

but the url is still encoding everything
