urlencode -- URL-encodes string Descriptionstring urlencode(string str);
Returns a string in which all non-alphanumeric characters except
-_. have been replaced with a percent
(%) sign followed by two hex digits and spaces
encoded as plus (+) signs. It is encoded the
same way that the posted data from a WWW form is encoded, that is
the same way as in
application/x-www-form-urlencoded media type.
This differs from the RFC1738 encoding (see
rawurlencode()) in that for historical
reasons, spaces are encoded as plus (+) signs. This function is
convenient when encoding a string to be used in a query part of
an URL, as a convenient way to pass variables to the next page:
Example 1. Urlencode() example 1
2 echo '<A HREF="mycgi?foo=', urlencode ($userinput), '">';
