Ok, let's see how many PHP people are watching this forum.

Does anyone know how to URL encode and unencode strings for use in links. For example, if you have a Username with a space in it, in order to link to that profile you need to URL encode the space to the percent20 sign and then on the other end it converts that percent20 sign back to a space. I have a function to do this in PERL, but haven't come across with the way to do this in PHP.

Ideas, solutions, comments?

rawurlencode() and rawurldecode() will accomplish what you want. You can also use urlencode() and urldecode() to substitute a plus sign instead of PERCENT20.

Usage would be rawurlencode($string)
Thank you,
