url_encode question

Hi, I use urlencode to encode some adress in my application. I have notice a strange behavior that I cannot explaned by reading the docs for urlencode(). Those lines will explained what I want to say... $str_nomFichier = "http://" .$GLOBALS["str_IpCW"] .."/records/".$path_salle ."/" .$path_date ."/" .$file; echo $str_nomFichier."<hr>"; $str_nomFichier = url_encode($str_nomFichier); echo $str_nomFichier."<hr>"; exit; result : http://192.168.10.5/records/Salle_16B/2003-05-06/Salle_16B_2003-05-06.010 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://192.168.10.5records/Salle_16B/2003-05-06/Salle_16B_2003-05-06.010 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see, my URL miss a '/' beetween the server IP and the rest of the path after using urlencode() ? Anything I have miss ? Win2000, PHP 4.3.3, Apache 2.0.48 Regards.
