Question about permitted uri chars, plus signs |

Hello all, I'm developing my first CI website! I just have a simple question about the permitted uri characters because i had to add one in order for urlencode() to work. On a gallery page i use pagination but also filter images based on the venue they were taken so for example: when u get to the gallery page the url looks like this: http://localhost/gallery/browse/all after clicking on a page link it will look like this: http://localhost/gallery/browse/20 at this point everything is fine, but when a venue link is clicked to see all the images from a certain venue the url looks like this: http://localhost/gallery/browse/some venue i had to use urlencode to make that url work but as you know, urlencode adds a plus(+) sign to any spaces in the url, and CI does not permit any plus signs. is there any security issues or concerns with permitting a plus sign to be in urls? thanks everyone.

Why are you not linking the urls by id anyways? You could use the url helper function url_title(). It converts the string to a url friendly string IE http://localhost/gallery/browse/some_venue |
