Synopsis
URLEncodedFormat(string
)
Encodes strings that otherwise cause errors when passed as URLs.
URLEncodedFormat( )
replaces nonalphanumeric
characters with their equivalent hexadecimal escape sequences.
ColdFusion automatically decodes any URL-escaped strings it
encounters. The following example creates a URL-encoded hyperlink
from a string containing spaces and nonalphanumeric characters:
<CFSET TheDate = "08/15/1998"> <CFSET ItemID = "123456"> <CFSET Customer = "Caroline Smith"> Click on the link below to check-out:<BR> <P><CFOUTPUT> <A HREF="http://www.myserver.com/index.cfm?TheDate=#UrlEncodedFormat(TheDate)#& ItemID=#UrlEncodedFormat(ItemID)#&Customer=#UrlEncodedFormat(Customer)#">Check-out </A> </CFOUTPUT>
