<pclass="level0">This function will convert the given input string to an URL encoded string and return that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are not a-z, A-Z or 0-9 will be converted to their "URL escaped" version (%NN where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number).
<pclass="level0">If the 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_escape() will use strlen() on the input 'url' string to find out the size.
<pclass="level0">You must curl_free() the returned string when you're done with it. <aname="AVAILABILITY"></a><h2class="nroffsh">AVAILABILITY</h2>
