Controller reading Chinese as parameters Error 400 - El Forum - 07-27-2014
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
So I have a controller that reads in a parameter to determine which page to display.
the controller uses a model to retrieve information from the database (articles).
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Articles extends CI_Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model('ArtModel');
}
public function index($artTitle){
$data['query'] = $this->ArtModel->get_article(urldecode($artTitle));
$this->load->view('inc/header',$data);
$this->load->view('articles',$data);
$this->load->view('inc/footer');
}
}
the Decode URL is there so that the correct information gets sent to the database. And all this works locally. however when I uploaded it to my website, I kept getting a 400, but if the input parameter ($artTitle) are english characters, the pages displays normally.
can anyone tell me why this doesnt work with Chinese characters?
