Make valid and working url from string, php

I have a problem with producing valid urls from strings. E.g.:

"http://mysite.de/go/".$text

I want to add text, might be a title, to the link. The script behind go/ takes the title, gets the ID of the post, uses the ID to get an url from the database to execute it. This works for e.g.

$text = "zalando.de"

But for

$text = "1&1 Email"

it does not work. S I think I have to encode $text to make it valid? Is there a standart method to do that?

Use rawurlencode to encode the string properly:

"http://mysite.de/go/".rawurlencode($text)
