Should we always use urlencode?

Should we always use urlencode() when passing values through GET?

 

If not, when is it should we NOT use it?

 

Thanks

If your GET includes user made content then you should use urlencode() - so that if the user uses a symbol like '?' or '&' it won't break the url (there's probably a better word to use than break but it's the best I could think of at the current time).
