public static UrlHelper::buildQuery(array $query, $parent = '')
Parses an array into a valid, rawurlencoded query string.
rawurlencode() is RFC3986 compliant, and as a consequence RFC3987 compliant. The latter defines the required format of "URLs" in HTML5. urlencode() is almost the same as rawurlencode(), except that it encodes spaces as "+" instead of "%20". This makes its result non compliant to RFC3986 and as a consequence non compliant to RFC3987 and as a consequence not valid as a "URL" in HTML5.
@todo Remove this function once PHP 5.4 is required as we can use just http_build_query() directly.
Parameters
array $query: The query parameter array to be processed; for instance, \Drupal::request()->query->all().
string $parent: (optional) Internal use only. Used to build the $query array key for nested items. Defaults to an empty string.
Return value
string A rawurlencoded string which can be used as or appended to the URL query string.
