What is meant by urlencode and urldocode? | PHP


URLencode returns a string in which all non-alphanumeric characters except -_. have been replaced with a percent (%) sign followed by two hex digits and spaces encoded as plus (+) signs. It is encoded the same way that the posted data from a WWW form is encoded, that is the same way as in  application/x-www-form-urlencoded media type.
urldecode decodes any %## encoding in the given string.
