note 85055 added to function.urlencode

I'm running PHP version 5.0.5 and urlencode() doesn't seem to encode the "#" character, although the function's description says it encodes "all non-alphanumeric" characters. This was a particular problem for me when trying to open local files with a "#" in the filename as Firefox will interpret this as an anchor target (for better or worse). It seems a manual str_replace is required unless this was fixed in a future PHP version. Example: $str = str_replace("#", "%23", $str); ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 71.231.172.146 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85055 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85055/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85055/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85055/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85055/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85055/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85055/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85055 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85055 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
