Description:
------------
In
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db.intro-dsn.php

it would be helpful if a method for
" If your database, option values, username or password contain characters used to delineate DSN parts, you can escape them via URI hex encodings"

were explicitly cited. Am I to assume that if I urlencode() these parts of my DSN then everything will be OK?

Cheers
