It looks like you are sending the e-mail with the
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable" header set but you haven't
suitably encoded the content. Either drop the quoted printable header
from your e-mail or properly encode the body!
Quoted printable encoding treats an equal sign as an escape character
followed by two hexadecimal digits for the ASCII code of a character.
So it is the quoted printable encoding (not PHP!) that's changing =25 at
the end of your URL to the % character in the mail.
At a minimum, you'll need to encode the equals sign as =3D in the e-mail
(i.e., "post_clicked.php?id=3D25") -or- drop the quoted printable header
from the e-mail. Better yet would be to run your entire e-mail message
body through PHP's quoted_printable_encode function.
Really, though, it's not a PHP problem but a mismatch between your mail
headers specifying the quoted printable encoding and your body not
actually being encoded.
