The PHP urlencode() function is a little overcautious. It encodes
virtually any non-alphanumeric character in the URL, even though many
would be perfectly safe to leave unencoded.

If you prefer your commas to be unencoded, then I suggest writing your
own replacement for urlencode. It's not difficult.

If you're using PHP 5.3+ with namespaces, then you can even name your
function "urlencode()" too, so that you don't need to go through all your
files replacing calls to urlencode() with my_urlencode().
