urlencode converts spaces to + but link isn't working

Question

After running urlencode() on an URL, the function will convert spaces inside the URL to "+". However when i try to access the encoded URL, it's not working. Looks like my server only supports %20

How do i need to do to make my server supports + as encoded spaces ? Or how can i urlencode the spaces to %20 instead ?

urlencode("http://www.example.com/just some test.zip");

Result: http://www.example.com/just+some+test.zip

but i would prefer to make my server supports + instead of %20 ... how do i do that ? — Winston Smith, Jun 19 '13 at 00:36

Use rawurlencode() instead of urlencode(),

difference between rawurlencode and urlencode
