So you want to replace the spaces, but not any of the non-alpha characters? Sounds more like a preg_replace() action. That way you could just create an array of patterns you want to replace, rather than doing a real urlencode. -Don Pickerel- On 3/11/2010 9:17 AM, nitin gupta wrote:
Thanks Earnie, but that is not what I am looking for. It is essentially similar to urlencode or rawurlencode. I am looking for a function that does the work like the one present at the bottom of the page here:
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm
For eg:
http://example.com/q=12 &12grt key=value;<>+,.()!*
is converted to
http://example.com/q=12%20&12grt%20key=value;%3C%3E+,.()!* <http://example.com/q=12%20&12grt%20key=value;%3C%3E+,.%28%29%21*>

Hi,
I am not creating the URL, but I parse the URL from XML content and I want to urlencode it. Also, I am looking to preserve all the reserved characters in the URL and not just '?' or '&'.
http://www.google.com/search?q=url+encoding+site%3Aapi.drupal.org leads you to two api functions url [1] and drupal_urlencode [2]. Are these what you need?
[1] http://api.drupal.org/api/function/url [2] http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_urlencode
