Following is my JS code:

window.location.href = 'products.php?price_range=-INFto2000,2001to5000';

My question is how do I encode the URL in javascript & decode it in PHP, such that my browser's navigation bar will show

"products.php?price_range=-INFto2000%2C2001to5000"

instead of

"products.php?price_range=-INFto2000,2001to5000"

and my php code will be able to work with the proper value of -INFto2000,2001to5000 in $_GET['price_range']

Try this in your javascript code

window.location.href = 'products.php?price_range='+encodeURIComponent('-INFto2000,2001to5000');

You can access the decoded value in $_GET['price_range']. $_GET variables are decoded by default in PHP.
