url_encode()
Learn how to use the url_encode() function to convert characters of the input URL into a transmittable format.
The function converts characters of the input URL into a format that can be transmitted over the internet. Differs from url_encode_component by encoding spaces as ‘+’ and not as ‘%20’ (see application/x-www-form-urlencoded here).
