permitted_uri_chars - will this work? - El Forum - 06-04-2009

Hi there!
I'm using utf-8 in my while application. In order to use umlauts in my urls I changed the permitted_uri_chars to the following:
Code:
$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_+\-äöüß';This allows the '+' and umlauts. It works in my local setup, but will it work on servers? Not sure if using umlauts in urls is a good idea ... What do you think? What are the alternatives?

Here is a post on the topic, from what I have read umlauts are handled differently when a link is clicked on in some browsers so may be a good idea to avoid using them.

Hmm, okay. Thank you so far.
But what's the correct way to encode the umlauts? I already experimented a lot with urlencode() and utf8_encode() but I'm not getting it right.
Code:
$query ='ö';
echo urlencode($query);gives me the supposed ö. But using
Code:
$query ='ö';
redirect('results/'.urlencode($query).'/');gives mit an url with results/ö/
