spaces in URLs converted to _ - El Forum - 04-02-2008

Hello all,
I noticed that CI automatically converts spaces in URLs to _. that is, in an url like this:
www.domain.com/main/search/big+city
by echoing the 3rd segment or function parameter from within the Search function, I see that it has been converted to big_city. how do I avoid this?
thanks in advance

urlencode()? it converts spaces to and other non-alpha chars to its ascii code

maybe I didn't make myself clear. this is something that CI does automatically. it converts already urlencoded urls containing spaces (+) to _

let me tell you that I've done some testing activating and deactivating xss and I haven't come across any scenario where spaces get replaced.
what version of CI are you running?
could you post some code as to illustrate what you're doing?

I'm running ver 1.5.4
http://www.domain.com/main/search/big+city
where main is a controller, search is a function, and big+city is a parameter. from within the Search function, I echo the parameter passed by the url and instead of printing big city, it prints big_city. I tried with and without urldecode. same result
Code:
<?php
class Main extends Controller {
function Main()
{
parent::Controller();
}
function Search($query)
{
echo $query;
}
}

I don't have acces to a web server right now but you should consider upgrading to CI 1.6.1
The tests I've done on 1.6.1 earlier were identical to yours and the spaced weren't replaced

ok...I finally upgraded to 1.6.2. Still, I'm experiencing the same issue. spaces are replaced with an _
how can I fix this?
thanks

not an issue, a feature.
If you want spaces add a space in the allowed characters config option in the main config file.
