urlencode except /

Question

Is there a way to urlencode except directory seperators / in the path ?

like

urlencode('/this/is/my/file right here.jpg');

Answer 1

Replace them again:

str_replace('%2F', '/', urlencode('/this/is/my/file right here.jpg'));

Note that if you are going to pass the result in a query string, you should not do the replacement above -- use only urlencode. If you are using it in the path portion, you ought to use rawurlencode instead.

Answer 2

This should solve your problem.

str_replace("%2F","/",urlencode('/this/is/my/file right here.jpg'));
