Why ci url does not support Chinese?????

[eluser]richthegeek[/eluser]
All URLs do not support Chinese characters, its not just CI. Your best option is to use Chinese in the western alphabet.

My client is Chinese, url will appear on Chinese, how should I do?

[eluser]richthegeek[/eluser]
To be as clear as possible: there is no support whatsoever, in any international standard for the use of Chinese characters in URLs.

The characters available to you are the ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (case-insensitive), the digits '0' through '9', the underscore, and the hyphen. There are also control characters (/& etc).

URL *cannot* appear in Chinese. Client will have to live with the fact that Westerners invented the internet and most of its content, so they set the rules.

can i put $config['permitted_uri_chars'] = null?????

[eluser]richthegeek[/eluser]
No. I'll put it in big letters.

You cannot use chinese characters in your URLs

[eluser]chaochao[/eluser]
what about this
function _clean_input_keys($str)
{
$config = &get;_config('config');
if ( ! preg_match("/^[".$config['permitted_uri_chars']."]+$/i", rawurlencode($str)))
{
exit('Disallowed Key Characters.');
}
return $str;
}

[eluser]richthegeek[/eluser]
Am I missing something here?

Is your question "How can I stop users entering Chinese characters into fields that will appear in URLs?".

If so, a preg match on /[A-Z0-9_\.\-]/i will do it.

So far as I know, you can't use Chinese characters in any URLs.Such as:

Code:

http://example.com/login/username/张三

It won't work. You can use:

Code:

http://example.com/login/username/<?php echo urlencode('张三');?>

And in login.php you could use this to get the value of the parament:

Code:

<?php
$username=$this->uri->segment(3);
$username=urldecode($username);
?>

Try this.
