[JS & PHP] Encoding and decoding a URL?

[tm]

Hey,

how do you encode & decode a url from javascript to php ?
ie the javascript would send data to php via a url:
blah.php?q=[encoded url here]
and the blah.php would be able to decode [encoded url here] to something that it can then do stuff with.

NEEDS to be able to cope with line
breaks.

Any help?

There is urldecode() in PHP

yes, but how do you encode it to that state using javascript?

I am lazy but there are resources on google, for example http://lab.artlung.com/urlencode/ as a starting point
I searched with javascript+urlencode

ok, got it sorted now
