Image name "+" why throw 404

Question

I have created a web page using laravel where the images of the products i am getting from the backend via url: https://examole.com/cache/medium/product/3954/Wl2 +spitak.jpg. If the name of the image contains "+", then I cant get an image in front and receive a 404 erro, but in the admin, I can see the image. If I change the "+" symbol for example to "-" then I can get the image on my front. Any solutions???

Use this on your blade `{{ rawurlencode(str_replace('+','%2B', $file_name)) }}` — STA, Jan 18 '21 at 15:10
@sta that's double encoding with unnecessary and bad practice `str_replace`. — Daniel W., Jan 18 '21 at 15:45

+ is a reserved symbol.

You can use it but with all URLs in HTML, the special characters need to be encoded.

What you probably have:

<img src="https://examole.com/cache/medium/product/3954/Wl2 +spitak.jpg">

What it should be:

<img src="https://examole.com/cache/medium/product/3954/Wl2%20%2Bspitak.jpg">

Encoding the blankspace to %20 and the + symbol to %2B.

Sometimes PHP can be a bit finicky with things like this. Try replacing + with its UTF-8 escape character, %2B
