First method  internal function   The best way I have tried before is to use urlencode    Keep in mind  don t use it for the whole url  instead  use it only for the needed parts  For example  a request that has two  text-fa  and  text-en  fields and they contain a Persian and an English text  respectively  you might only need to encode the Persian text  not the English one   Second Method  using cURL function   However  there are better ways if the range of characters have to be encoded is more limited  One of these ways is using CURLOPT ENCODING  by passing it to curl setopt     curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT ENCODING
