As this question is quite old and for PHP, here is a way to do it in the (currently) very popular PHP framework Laravel.

To encode the query string for a path in your application, give your routes names and then use the route() helper function like so:

route('documents.list.', ['foo' => 'bar']);

The result will look something like:

http://localhost/documents/list?foo=bar

Also be aware that if your route has any path segment parameters e.g. /documents/{id}, then make sure you pass an id argument to the route() parameters too, otherwise it will default to using the value of the first parameter.
