Is this for a high-security envrionment? I hope not. Most shredding will not work for filesystems that do not (for various reasons) immediately wrote over a deleted file.
FileBuzz - Find Software Fast has some simple shredder utilities that will keep an uninformed manager happy but will probably never pass a security audit.
You can google for 'file shredder' - Linux has one called shred. It is opensource, so you can compile it if you have gcc.

webcommon.urlencode
WebCommon.urlEncode(3kaya) Kaya module reference WebCommon.urlEncode(3kaya)
NAME
WebCommon::urlEncode - URL encode a string
SYNOPSIS
String urlEncode( String x )
ARGUMENTS
x The string to encode
DESCRIPTION
URL encode a string. You should use this to encode reserved characters in URLs that you wish to be passed literally.
// trying to pass "http://www.example.com" as a parameter
url = "http://localhost/test.cgi?url=";
url += urlEncode("http://www.example.com");
// url = http://localhost/test.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com
Note that in the example above, encoding the whole URL would be incorrect - that would create a relative URL beginning "http://".
