What is the equivalent of JavaScript's encodeURIcomponent in PHP?

A:
Try rawurlencode. Or to be more precise:
function encodeURIComponent($str) {
$revert = array('%21'=>'!', '%2A'=>'*', '%27'=>"'", '%28'=>'(', '%29'=>')');
return strtr(rawurlencode($str), $revert);
}
This function works exactly how encodeURIComponent is defined:
encodeURIComponentescapes all characters except the following: alphabetic, decimal digits,-_.!~*'()

Thank you!I thought I might be able to do it without a function, but ok.

@Gal: You will only need that function if you need an identical output.

Nice, you can see the comparison between functions here: http://devpro.it/examples/php_js_escaping.php

yes. the problem is that it's not entirely like encodeURI, it converts every character, even ^I wanted something that would function the exact same way without me having to intervene ^^.
