Hopefully an easy one.
I want to have parenthesis - '(' and ')' - characters allowed in my URLs. I've modified my config.php thus:
Code:
$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_\-+()';
But when I grab the segments in my URL using
$this->uri->segment_array(); this is what happens to my parameters:
Code:
// input url == album/gallery/i4c3d775755/fSOMEWHERE+in+singapore+(temp+label)
$segs = $this->uri->segment_array();
dump ($segs);
// produces:
array
1 => string 'album' (length=5)
2 => string 'gallery' (length=7)
3 => string 'i4c3d775755' (length=11)
4 => string 'fSOMEWHERE+in+singapore+& #40;temp+label& #41;' (length=44)
// Note - spaces added between & and # so this forum doesn't re-interpret them back to ( and ).
I suspect I can de-entity the string as I pull it in on my uri->segment_array () call but I'm wondering if there's some other magic I can do in order to enforce some non-munging of anything in permitted_uri_chars
EDIT: Ahh, here's the problem - in the URI library, line 197+ in the _filter_uri() method:
Code:
// Convert programatic characters to entities
$bad = array('$', '(', ')', '% 28', '% 29');
$good = array('& #36;', '& #40;', '& #41;', '& #40;', '& #41;');
return str_replace($bad, $good, $str);
(Again, I put a space between & and # there, lest the CI forum confusingly de-mung things and make everyone wonder what the problem is.)
Knowing the problem is good, but a
nice solution doesn't immediately present itself.
