@URL: Maybe in hurry, I did not explain it properly. This was exactly what I was doing. look at the project, https://sourceforge.net/projects/absoluteurl/

until I came across this image url on the google images page:

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:7i1D2KAZcCd8yM:http://www.flash-slideshow-maker.com/images/help_clip_image004.jpg

What would you consider here the query string or the path? Anything we do, the URL is going to break unless we do nothing. Any ideas?(may be just for encode the spaces).

scheme: http
host: t3.gstatic.com <http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:7i1D2KAZcCd8yM:http://www.flash-slideshow-maker.com/images/help_clip_image004.jpg> path: images <http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:7i1D2KAZcCd8yM:http://www.flash-slideshow-maker.com/images/help_clip_image004.jpg> query: q=tbn:7i1D2KAZcCd8yM:http://www.flash-slideshow-maker.com/images/help_clip_image004.jpg <http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:7i1D2KAZcCd8yM:http://www.flash-slideshow-maker.com/images/help_clip_image004.jpg>

That url is some sort of thumbnail maker or something... compare to http://www.flash-slideshow-maker.com/images/help_clip_image004.jpg

    Thanks for your help. but this query will probably select

    $xpath->query("//div[contains(@class, '" . $class . "')]")

    How can we be more specific?
    Try this example:
    http://westhoffswelt.de/blog/0036_xpath_to_select_html_by_class.html


    @URL: Actually I am maintaining the module feedapi imagegrabber,
    which downloads images from external websites. Now sometimes the
    url I parse has spaces, so I am unable to decide whether or not
     to percentage encode the URL, because percentage encoding will
    make this URL valid but will break the following URL:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=hello
    by converting it to
    http://www.google.com/search?q%3Dhello
    "q=hello" is a query string, not strictly part of the path. I
    would strip the url to its component parts (parse_url) and encode
    the path, then re-append the query string.

    http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

    HTH,

    Looking forward.
