#36641 [NEW]: space encoding in urlencode / rawurlencode

From: sreinecke at feverxl dot de Operating system: all PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: space encoding in urlencode / rawurlencode Description: ------------ urlencode documentation: Returns a string in which all non-alphanumeric characters except -_. have been replaced with a percent (%) sign followed by two hex digits --> AND SPACES ENCODES AS PLUS (+) SIGNS <--. It is encoded the same way that the posted data from a WWW form is encoded, that is the same way as in application/x-www-form-urlencoded media type. This DIFFERS from the RFC1738 encoding (see rawurlencode()) in that for historical reasons, --> SPACES ARE ENCODED AS PLUS (+) SIGNS. <-- ... Where is the difference?
