How to get ID and other string in url

urlencode is useful when using certain URL shortener services.

The returned URL from the shortener may be truncated if not encoded. Ensure the URL is encoded before passing it to a shortener.

Example

$url = "https://www.notarealurl.com?id=50&name=namestring";
$encodedurl = urlencode($url);
$shorturl = UrlShortener::shortenUrl( $encodedurl);
