You can also use PHP function urlencode as modifier.

PHP functions can be used as modifiers, $security permitting.

//the "rewind" paramater registers the current location
<a href="{$SCRIPT_NAME}?page=foo&rewind={$smarty.server.REQUEST_URI|urlencode}">click here</a>

With escape modifier you may set optional escape_type 'url' to return rawurlencode().

{$var|escape:'url'}

By default {$var|escape} uses escape_type 'html' and returns htmlspecialchars() where '&' (ampersand) becomes &amp;. So 'url' might be useful. rawurlencode() protects literal characters from being interpreted as special URL delimiters:

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u={$var|escape:'url'} " target="_blank"></a>

{$var|escape}
