Use <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_escape.html">curl_easy_escape(3)</a> instead! <p class="level0">This function will convert the given input string to an URL encoded string and return that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are not a-z, A-Z or 0-9 will be converted to their "URL escaped" version (%NN where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number). <p class="level0">If the 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_escape() will use strlen() on the input 'url' string to find out the size. <p class="level0">You must curl_free() the returned string when you're done with it. <a name="AVAILABILITY"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">AVAILABILITY</h2> <p class="level0">Since 7.15.4, <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_escape.html">curl_easy_escape(3)</a> should be used.
