I’ve got a mailto: link in a page here including subject= and body= parameters but I’m not sure on how to correctly escape the data in the parameters.
The page is encoded in utf-8 so I guess all special chars like German umlauts should be encoded into utf-8 representations for the URL too?
At the moment I’m using rawurlencode() as urlencode() would insert + characters in all locations where spaces should have been but I’m unsure if this is the correct way to do so.
You just need to
rawurlencode()the link at the end of the email address according the the W3C standards.There is an example on the PHP Manual for urlencode (search for mailto on that page):
