public static function UrlHelper::buildQuery in Service Container 7.2

Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 7 lib/Drupal/Component/Utility/UrlHelper.php \Drupal\Component\Utility\UrlHelper::buildQuery()

Parses an array into a valid, rawurlencoded query string.

rawurlencode() is RFC3986 compliant, and as a consequence RFC3987 compliant. The latter defines the required format of "URLs" in HTML5. urlencode() is almost the same as rawurlencode(), except that it encodes spaces as "+" instead of "%20". This makes its result non compliant to RFC3986 and as a consequence non compliant to RFC3987 and as a consequence not valid as a "URL" in HTML5.

@todo Remove this function once PHP 5.4 is required as we can use just http_build_query() directly.

Parameters

array $query: The query parameter array to be processed, e.g. \Drupal::request()->query->all().

string $parent: Internal use only. Used to build the $query array key for nested items.

Return value

string A rawurlencoded string which can be used as or appended to the URL query string.
