Summary: parse_url & parse_str problems with values with
percentage

Of course, it is nonsense if you need to convert "%" but nothing else. Where did you have
this in the documentation of parse_url? Or should we have some glass sphere to predict it? For me,
it is a nonsense behavior of a function and of course a BUG!

But this makes nonsense! Why should I convert the "%" to "%25" before I gave it
to the function parse_url? Why the function parse_url & parse_str do not make it? If this is so,
why I should not convert "&" to "%26" and all the other characters?

Percent characters in an URI introduce a percent-encoded[1]
character, and parse_url() and parse_str() interpret it as such.
A literal percent character would have to be written as %25 in an
URI, see <https://3v4l.org/2C3Bo>.

Description:
------------
parse_url & parse_str have problems, when in the URL is some value with percent in the form:
domain.com/?campaignid=%campaignid%&adid=%bannerid%
Then both of them are converting the "%" in some unicode, which breaks the code:
array(4) {
["scheme"]=>
string(5) "https"
["host"]=>
string(19) "domain"
["path"]=>
string(16) "/path/"
["query"]=>
array(6) {
["campaignid"]=>
string(10) "�mpaignid%"
["adid"]=>
string(8) "�nnerid%"
}
}
