Google ads + .htaccess + CI routing = 400 Bad Request

[eluser]gautaml[/eluser]
Well this is just interesting.

I was wondering if it could be badly formatted HTML since in my page rendernig process I process the page as this to strip out all tabs line breaks and comments:

Code:

preg_replace('/<!--(.*)-->/Uis', '', preg_replace('/\t+|\r\n|\n|\r/', '', $output));

Somewhere in tehre it was messing up the google code

Here's the original code:

Code:

<div id="adbar">
    [removed]&lt;!--
        google_ad_client = "ca-pub-xxxxxxxxx";
        /* 728x90 */
        google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxx";
        google_ad_width = 728;
        google_ad_height = 90;
        //--&gt;
    [removed]
    [removed][removed]
</div>

If I remove all the HTML/JS comments the ads now come up.

Guess it was fine all along but just something I did. whoops.

BTW thanks John, what you posted made me think twice about what I was doing
