u
Description
Returns a URL-encoded version of a string.
string u( string input )
This is useful when passing a query string parameter as part of a link.
If there is any possibility that a parameter value might contain special characters such as spaces, you should use the u( ) function on that parameter.
Note: A string that is not a Zephyr variable needs quotes around it.
string u('string input')
Example
http://www.mysite.com?username={u(username)}&name={u(name)}
URL-Encode a Value
Use Case: If you need to pass any information, such as a user name, in a URL as a query string parameter. To prevent the link breaking, always use u() which allows you to URL-encode special characters. For example, the user name value “Sailthru User” would become “Sailthru%20User”Zephyr:
http://example.com?username={u(userName)}
http://example.com?username=Sailthru%20User
