rawurlencode -- URL-encode according to RFC1738
Description
string rawurlencode (string str)
Returns a string in which all non-alphanumeric characters except
have been replaced with a percent
(
%) sign followed by two hex digits. This is
the encoding described in RFC1738 for protecting literal
characters from being interpreted as special URL delimiters, and
for protecting URL's from being mangled by transmission media
with character conversions (like some email systems). For
example, if you want to include a password in an ftp url:
Example 1. rawurlencode() example 1
echo '<A HREF="ftp://user:', rawurlencode ('foo @+%/'),
'@ftp.my.com/x.txt">';
|
|
Or, if you pass information in a path info component of the url:
Example 2. rawurlencode() example 2
echo '<A HREF="http://x.com/department_list_script/',
rawurlencode ('sales and marketing/Miami'), '">';
