Name
uri_escape
Synopsis
uri_escapeuri
, [regexp
]
Given a URI as the first parameter, returns the equivalent
URI with certain characters replaced with %
followed by two hexadecimal digits.
The first parameter can be a text string, such as "http:www.oreilly.com"
, or an object
of type URI::URL. When invoked without a second parameter,
uri_escape
escapes characters
specified by RFC 1738. Otherwise, you can pass in a regular
expression (in the context of [
]
) of characters to escape as the second parameter.
For example:
$escaped_uri = uri_escape($uri, 'aeiou')
This code escapes all lowercase vowels in $uri
and returns the escaped
version.
