Making a get request with a url that has special characters

I am trying to make this request

fopen("http://192.168.0.116:9090/sendsms?phone=4456666&text=url#&password=","r");

to send an sms from my android device but i can't seem to send the message successfully and i suspect that # is complicating things.

The # in url must remain there as part of the message itself.

phone is the telephone number and text is the text message.

How can i make the get request work?.

Yes, the # character indicates a fragment in URLs, so the part after that is actually ignored right now. You need to escape it properly, for example like this:

$myUrl = 'http://192.168.0.116:9090/sendsms?'.http_build_query([
    'phone' => '4456666',
    'text' => 'url#',
    'password' => '',
]);

Docs here on `http_build_query'.

You can also properly escape the individual values with urlencode.
