4Unfortunately, this answer is wrong for some characters. In php
rawurlencode(")") == "%29"while in javascriptencodeURIComponent(")") == ")".– Régis B.Mar 20, 2017 at 18:39 -

Try using rawurlencode instead - urlencode does some things differently for "historical" reasons.
See http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php for more information.
Parenthesis are exceptions to all of what is said in this post.
geek mode on :
false
PHP rawUrlEncode() !== JavaScript encodeURIComponent()
but true
PHP rawUrlEncode() == JavaScript encodeURIComponent()
In other words, there are many special characters that aren't treated as safe in rawurlencode when they are in encodeURIComponent.
Try this:
return decodeURIComponent((str + '').replace(/\+/g, '%20'));

PHP rawUrlEncode with JS unescape (deprecated but working)
For me decodeURIComponent throw errors sometimes.
