I tried many approaches online explaining the issue, but didn't find the one could fit with my need.
I want to make a share to whatsapp link on my website for each product, including product name, line-break and link. Something like this:
Product Name [/r/n]
https://....
I'm using OpenCart 3. Here is php side code:
'whatsapp_text' => $result['manufacturer'] . ' - ' . $result['model'] . ' - ' . $result['name']
. $this->encodeURIComponent('\r\n' . $this->url->link('product/product', 'product_id=' . $result['product_id']))
Above code returns this:
.myweb%2Findex.php%3Froute%3Dproduct%2Fproduct%26amp%3Bproduct_id%3D61
According to this page () it's possible to use window.encodeURIComponent(whatsappMessage) to have a line-break, but I don't know how to bine it with my php code or use it in html side:
<a href="={{ product.whatsapp_text }}" data-action="share/whatsapp/share">Whatsapp</a>
UPDATE
I forgot to include the function (encodeURIComponent):
function encodeURIComponent($str) {
$revert = array('%21'=>'!', '%2A'=>'*', '%27'=>"'", '%28'=>'(', '%29'=>')');
return strtr(rawurlencode($str), $revert);
}

'\r\n'- that’s not a line break. – C3roe Commented Feb 15, 2018 at 7:39 - @CBroe: So what should I use instead? – Kardo Commented Feb 15, 2018 at 7:50

Here is the output using
rawurlencode: Here is the output: Moonlight-263-Bra%5Cnhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysite.%2Findex.php%3Froute%3Dproduct%2Fproduct%26amp%3Bproduct_id%3D55 Any idea how to make a line break? – Kardo Commented Feb 15, 2018 at 8:03 - Read the link to the manual that I posted ... and pay attention to the difference between strings enclosed in single, or in double quotes ... – C3roe Commented Feb 15, 2018 at 8:13

Even though this trend has its years, looking for the same question I got here. So this is for today a current way to go:
Spaces uses this mand: %20 (but not necessary if inside a PHP variable)
Line breaks: %0A or %0D%0A (Totally required)
Links: No special character needed
$txt_1 = 'You can see there is no need to include special mands for spaces if they are in a PHP variable.'."%0A";
$txt_2 = 'But you do need to include some inside the variable to jump lines.'."%0D%0A";
$txt_3 = 'And nothing special for links: https://example.';
$msg= $txt_1.$txt_2.$txt_3."%0A";
<a href="https://wa.me/put_your_number_here?text=<?php echo $msg ?>Spaces%20here%20require%20this." target="_blank" >
//Some WhatsApp icon
</a>
I fixed the issue according to this article (http://webdevelopmentscripts./35-share-a-link-on-whatsapp-from-website) and CBroe's suggestion on using double quote for line break "\n":
'whatsapp_text' => $result['manufacturer'] . '-' . $result['model'] . '-' . $result['name']
. rawurlencode("\n" . $this->url->link('product/product&product_id=' . $result['product_id']))
<a href="whatsapp://send?text={{ product.whatsapp_text }}">whatsapp</a>
The result is exactly what I want:
Moonslictese-251-Bra
http://www.example./index.php?route=product/product&product_id=46
Also I could use encodeURIComponent:
javascript:void(location.href='whatsapp://send?text='+encodeURIComponent({{ product.whatsapp_text }}))
i tried with "\\n" (double backslash + n), and it's worked !
i get this from send test message at insomnia (postman like) with php-curl API to whatsapp number.
You can use urlencode($yourmessage) for same.
