How can I have PHP display this URL correctly?
Is there a working encoding method I can use that converts all of
253A%252F%252F
to
://
in
https%253A%252F%252Fvideos-private.s3.amazonaws.com%252Flesson05.flv
?

You should use double urldecode, i.e.,
$beuty_url = urldecode(urldecode("https%253A%252F%252Fbassrxprivate.s3.amazonaws.com%252Flesson05.flv"));
echo $beuty_url;

Why double 'urldecode'? It sounds counterintuitive. It also seems to contradict the other answers. What is the explanation?

I was expecting this to work but it doesn't. Please advise! Thank you. $output = "file=https%253A%252F%252Fbassrx-private.s3.amazonaws.com%252Flesson05.flv" $flv = urlencode ($output); echo urlencode ($flv);
The urldecode function decodes any %## encoding in the given string. In your "output" string you have %253A and so on. Remove those %25 and everything will be fine.
