Information!

The URL encoding functions focus on taking program data and making it safe for use as URL components by quoting special characters and appropriately encoding non-ASCII text.

Main two usages:

URL query string - Spaces are replace by '%20'
Form data - Spaces are replace by '+'

URL query: Refer URL data pass as query string as

Form data: For the default content type 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'. The Forms submitted with this content type must be encoded as follows:

Control names and values are escaped. Space characters are replaced by '+', and then reserved characters are escaped as described in [RFC1738], section 2.2: Non-alphanumeric characters are replaced by `%HH', a percent sign and two hexadecimal digits representing the ASCII code of the character. Line breaks are represented as "CR LF" pairs (i.e., `%0D%0A').

The control names/values are listed in the order they appear in the document. The name is separated from the value by '=' and name/value pairs are separated from each other by '&'.

Is percent-encoding different from URL encoding?

No.
