PHP urlencode（）正在增加？SID = xxx ...为什么？

Question

I am trying to output a simple link.

This works great:

$url = 'http://www.google.com';
echo $url;

This doesn't work great:

$url = 'http://www.google.com';
echo urlencode($url);

The second example tacks on "?SID=xxx" to the end of the URL for some reason. How do I prevent this from happening?

Note: The code to generate the URL has been changed to protect the innocent.

Don't use urlencode() to encode URL, you will end up an URL like this,

http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com

To PHP, this looks like a relative URL so it appends SID when cookie is missing.

urlencode() should be used to encode query string parameters but not the URL itself.
