uri_to_assoc issue - El Forum - 09-08-2009

Hi there,
I'm passing a url-encoded piece of information into my controller, and I'm having trouble using uri_to_assoc to access it, which has me confused.
My code looks like this:
Code:
$var=$this->uri->uri_to_assoc(1,$url_data);If my url is www.mysite.com/controller/method/filter/brandToyota, then I'm properly getting an array $var('filter'=>'brandToyota').
What I'm trying to do though is get my filter data in a format that's a little more easy to read, particularly as I'll have multiple filters applied in some cases and I don't want to use querystrings. So I'm trying to pass brand=Toyota, although url-encoded of course.
Why doesn't this work?
Quote:www.mysite.com/controller/method/filter/brand=Toyota
(errr...I don't know how to display that properly in the forums....there's a %,3,D (with no commas) between brand & Toyota in the url, not an equals sign)
In this case uri_to_assoc is only returning "brand"....I get an array $var('filter'=>'brand'), which obviously doesn't work for me.
I would have thought the "url safe" characters wouldn't have any effect on uri_to_assoc. In any case, any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks for any help!

Ahh....think I figured it out...% 3 D (the url encoded value for the equals sign) is in the $bad array in the input.php class.
My noobishness has me wondering why a url-encoded equals sign is bad...can someone please explain that to me? I think I understand why a regular old equals sign would be bad, but I would have thought a url-encoded one would be pretty safe.
I'm thinking of commenting out that little line from the $bad array and want to know if that's a phenomenally bad idea!
