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 RFC 1738 for protecting literal characters from being interpreted as special URL delimiters, and for protecting URLs 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:

Пример 1. rawurlencode() example 1

<?php echo '<a href="ftp://user:', rawurlencode('foo @+%/'), '@ftp.example.com/x.txt">'; ?>

Or, if you pass information in a PATH_INFO component of the URL:

Пример 2. rawurlencode() example 2

<?php echo '<a href="http://example.com/department_list_script/', rawurlencode('sales and marketing/Miami'), '">'; ?>

When passing variables from JavaScript to PHP (via AJAX, perhaps, or by setting location.href), the analogue of this function is encodeURIComponent()



Example:

<?php // JavaScript actually

var comments=document.getElementById('comments').value;

var url=location.protocol+'//'+location.host+

   '/handle_form.php?comments='+encodeURIComponent(comments);

location.href=url;

?>

I had serious trouble with local Windows paths containing umlauts on my Apache 2 / Windows NT machine. Apache could not find any of those files if I just used rawurlencode. It's not noted anywhere here, but you fix this by simply making your path utf8 first:



rawurlencode(utf8_encode($str));

Note in regards to 'rickyale at ig dot com dot br' program:



Wouldn't the whole issue be fixed by using charset=utf-8 in the HTML page?



I'm passing some data between the HTML form and an PHP program - my 'special' characters have to do with the Polish alphabet - and it looks like JavaScript encoding actually... works. 



Of course, I could have tested only a limitted number of cases.



Just a thought.

You can encode paths using:



<?php

$encoded = implode("/", array_map("rawurlencode", explode("/", $path)));

?>

On the comments of rickyale and djmaze...

Is what you try to achieve is not a combination of utf8 and url encoding, e.g. :



<?

$str = "bl
