Encode URL

Questions & Answers
1

Is there a module that can make proper URL out of text?

Example: http://somesite.com/soemthing&somethingelse?name=John Smith

In other words, is there a module that can cleanup and make a proper url instead of using replace spaces with “%20” ?

I tried using encodeURL but the URL that it produces results like http%3A%2F%2Fsomesite.com%2Fsoemthing%26somethingelse%3Fname%3DJohn%20Smith

I cannot open the generated URL

You’re close.

Just encode the parameters portion, i.e., “?name=John Smith”.

Got it. I reverted back to using replace() module to replace spaces with %20
