Yes.

Although I suppose if you had your content in a difficult-to-edit format, or
had thousands and thousands of links, you could do something like:

<?php

ob_start();

/* print out giant page */

$page = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$page =
preg_replace('/?redir=([^"])+?"/e',"'?redir='.urlencode('\\\\1').'"',$page);

print $page;

?>

This captures the page into $page using output buffering and then encodes
the URLs with preg_replace() and urlencode. It assumes that there are no
single or double quotes in the URLs that need to be encoding. You should
doublecheck my preg_replace() regex syntax -- I haven't tested this code.
