How do I convert parameters for a URL 1

[towerbase]

I'm sure this will have been asked before but I couldn't find it in the FAQs.

Is there a PHP function that will convert a string so it is suitable for a URL parameter?

For example, if a string contains "I like beer" then I want a function that will return "I+like+beer". The function will also have to cope with quotes and other special characters.

Yup.
$string = "I like beer";
urlencode($string);

To decode the url:
urldecode($string);

The bartender asks, "Are you aware that you have a steering wheel down your pants?"
The pirate replies, "Arrrrr! It's driving me nuts!
