Zend says this URI is not valid

I am generating a feed using Zend Framework.

When I am setting a link like the one below, I get an error

$feed = new Zend_Feed_Writer_Feed;
$url = "http://www.example.com/search?s=chris|gayle|pics&device=1"
$feed->setLink($url);

I searched through Zend_Uri.php and Http.php, I was not able to figure out the problem.

exception 'Zend_Feed_Exception' with message 'Invalid parameter: parameter must be a non-empty string and valid URI/IRI'

According to Which characters make a URL invalid? | is not a valid symbol.

To have those characters in url, you must encode your url. You could use urlencode method to do this.

You may need to urlencode values in your URI

Correct URI will be "http://www.example.com/search?s=chris%7Cgayle%7Cpics&device=1"

Just use urlencode() or rawurlencode(); to encode URI parts.

$url = "http://www.example.com/search?s=".urlencode("chris|gayle|pics")."&device=1"

| is not allowed. Use %7C instead.

For more info, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding#Types_of_URI_characters

To encode a url use urlencode. This will make sure all characters are correctly encoded into a standard URI.
