Drupal url encoding

I am having trouble properly encoding URL data. Using the following code:

$redirect = drupal_urlencode("user/register?destination=/node/1");
drupal_goto( $redirect );

but, the URL that comes up in my browser test is the following:

[To see links please register here]

I thought using the `drupal_urlencode` function should fix this encoding issue. How can I fix it?

You'd be better off using the built in [`url()`](

[To see links please register here]

) function to create your URL, if you pass an array as the `query` parameter it handles URL encoding for you:

$options = array(
'absolute' => TRUE,
'query' => array('destination' => '/node/1')
);
$redirect = url('user/register', $options);

drupal_goto( $redirect );

`drupal_encode()` will encode the whole string that you pass to it, so if you want to do it your original way it would look like this:

$redirect = 'user/register?' . drupal_urlencode("destination=/node/1");
drupal_goto( $redirect );

The simplest way of doing this in Drupal 6 is:

drupal_goto("user/register","destination=/node/1");

The below code from Clive worked for me..


$options = array(
'absolute' => TRUE,
'query' => array('destination' => '/node/1')
);
$redirect = url('user/register', $options);

drupal_goto( $redirect );
