PHP URL Encoding / Decoding

by

The weird characters in the values passed in the URL should be escaped, using urlencode().

For example, the following portion of code :

echo urlencode('dsf13f3343f23/23=');

would give you :

dsf13f3343f23%2F23%3D

Which works fine, as an URL parameter.

And if you want to build aquery string with several parameters, take a look at the http_build_query() function.

For example :

echo http_build_query(array(
    'id' => 'dsf13f3343f23/23=',
    'a' => 'plop',
    'b' => '$^@test', 
));

will give you :

id=dsf13f3343f23%2F23%3D&a=plop&b=%24%5E%40test

This function deals with escaping and concatenating the parameters itself 😉
