@NogDogMay 31.2022 — #They're probably doing something "RESTful", and are effectively passing that part of the "path" as what will ultimately be treated as part of the GET request data, not actually part of the path (e.g. via manipulation in a .htaccess file or such). If you're not planning to do something like that, then it does not apply to you and you can ignore it. @NogDogMay 31.2022 — #Probably not. You only need it if you actually want to url-encode some part of the URI. In normal situations you would not want to do that to the actual path -- you _want_ those literal slashes to be there in your link tag.@NogDogMay 31.2022 — #
Who knows? As I just responded in your other post, you need to figure out what _you_ are trying to do and what parts of that need to be escaped/encoded/whatever, and then use the applicable function to do so. Picking random examples from random tutorials that are just showing what those functions do, may have nothing to do with what _you_ actually need to do.
Why rawurlencode() used on Partial Path ?
Hi,
Look at this code bit ..
[code]
echo ‘<a href=”http://example.com/department_list_script/’,
rawurlencode(‘sales and marketing/Miami’), ‘”>’;
Puzzling why rawurlencode() is used on part of path and not full path.
This is the link that needs urlencode():
My question is, why not either use rawurlencode() on full path like this:
[code]
echo ‘<a href=”http://example.com/’,
rawurlencode(‘department_list_script/sales and marketing/Miami’), ‘”>’;
Or, like this:
[code]
echo ‘<a href=”http://example.com’,
rawurlencode(‘/department_list_script/sales and marketing/Miami’), ‘”>’;
There are 3 DIRs and they used rawurlencode() on the last 2 DIRs only. Why ignore the first DIR: ‘department_list_script.
That is the puzzle.

@NogDogMay 31.2022 — #>@novice2022#1644385 So, why the tutorial did it then to the slash if we literally need the slash ?
