allow apostrophe in URL

[eluser]waxdaddy[/eluser]
I need to allow apostrophe's in my URL's but i can't seem to get it working by adding it to the allowed list

i tried this...

Code:

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

but no luck... any pointers as to what i need to do?

Cheers

I do not know the reasons for wanting the apostrophe in an URL but I think you are "opening a can of worms".
 
Do you want your users and SEO Bots to use the apostrophe?
 
I have gone to great lengths to ensure there are only alphabetical and numeric characters in myt URLs.
 
Take a look at:

Code:

$this->load->helper('url');

$SEO_friendly_url = url_title("You're URL with an apostrophe");  
// returns:  'youre-URL=with-an-apostrophe'

 
Also take a look at ./config/route.php. You can trap any URL and route it a chosen controller.

Users might enter one and its also a legacy thing as the urls have to match the original urls...

Already tried that, didn't make the slightest difference.
