Changing $config['permitted_uri_chars']

Hi all...

I have just almost finished developing my first CI application, and I must say what a breeze it was to do!

I now need to allow apostrophes in the URL so that people can't search my database by title. I know it's not the most secure of things, but it is a client requirement.

I have changed my $config['permitted_uri_chars'] to:

Code:

$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = "a-z 0-9\'~%.:_-";

To which I have added the ' and the \. My problem is that when I now submit an url from my form which contains an apostrophe, I'm getting an URL like:

http://localhost/search/title/don\'t

This obviously doesn't look very nice, and I'd really like to get rid of the \ before the '. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks...

Matt
