Yes and no. There's the curl_escape() function that can URL encode a given
string for you, but you will need to take care as you don't want the full
string URL encoded (for example, the function can't know if the slashes are
meant as slashes or if they should be URL encoded to be passed literally).

Yes, as long as the spaces are the only letters that invalidates the URL. But
if you're accepting anything from a user or another program or so, you should
be careful to properly escape/encoded all letters that are "reserved" in the
URL format.
