PHP version of asp/vbscript escape?

[Strahan]

I have a script that creates an .m3u on the web server then pushes it to the client, causing a song to play in Winamp (or whatever).  On the ASP version of the site, it works fine.  It takes this path:

 

http://mysite.com/media/#/ Game Music/FF3/Disc3/01 - New Continent.mp3

 

..and outputs to the M3U:

 

http://mysite.com/media/%23%5C%20Game%20Music%5CFF3%5CDisc3/01%20-%20New%20Continent.mp3

 

..which Winamp is fine with.  I found a function, urlencode, that sounded like it was the same functionality as ASP's escape.  However, it creates this:

 

http://mysite.com/media/%23%2F+Game+Music%2FFF3%2FDisc3%2F01+-+New+Continent.mp3

 

..which Winamp does NOT like.  Is there any way I can have it escape the string as ASP does?

 

Thanks!
