&reftitle.description;
stringrawurlencodestringstr
Encodes the given string according to RFC 3986.
&reftitle.parameters;
str
The URL to be encoded.
&reftitle.returnvalues;
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 3986 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).
Prior to PHP 5.3.0, rawurlencode encoded tildes (~) as per
RFC 1738.
&reftitle.changelog;
&Version;&Description;5.3.4
Tilde characters are no longer encoded when
rawurlencode is used with EBCDIC strings.
5.3.0
Now conforms to RFC 3986.
