URL help

[eluser]Pascal Kriete[/eluser]
The problem is caused by the escaped slashes. Using escape() or encodeURI() works, but then you're left with the slashes - meaning segment(3) will simply be "http:".

The best solution I can come up with is to replace the slashes with something that most urls don't have, such as:

Code:

location.href='http://localhost/test/addbookmark/'+location.href.replace(/\//g, "__myseperator__");

That will replace all the '/' with '__myseperator__'.

Then in your controller you could replace them again to reassemble your link:

Code:

$encoded_url = $this->uri->segment(3);
$url = str_replace('__myseperator', '/');

There is probably a prettier way, but this works (as long as none of your bookmarks have __myseperator__ in them ).
