PHP Bug Type:     URL related
Bug description:  urlencode/urldecode should use ASCII encoding

Description:
------------
The "URL Generic Syntax" specification (RFC 2396) says that URLs must be
US-ASCII. However, the PHP urlencode/decode functions return/accept binary
data only. I think the correct behaviour would be to use Unicode (which is
a superset of ASCII) for the encoded values.

(This might affect some other URL-related functions, but
urlencode/urldecode are the only ones that I know)

See also bug 45566 . Since it's quite likely for urldecode's input to come
from the $_SERVER superglobal, I think either both or none of the bugs
should be fixed.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo urldecode("%50%48%50\n");

Expected result:
----------------
PHP

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  urldecode() expects parameter 1 to be strictly a binary
string, Unicode string given in - on line 3

Warning: urldecode() expects parameter 1 to be strictly a binary string,
Unicode string given in - on line 3
