Allowing "+" in the query string?

[eluser]taewoo[/eluser]
Hi everyone.
How can I allow the "+" string in the query string?

In appplication/config/config.php, i tried:

Code:

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

None of them seem to work.
Any thoughts on this matter?

PS: I am trying to allow query string when a user inputs search string (so that I can urlencode() and urldecode() the string... not to mention the user can embed the search string into their blog)

Try this...

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

Just tested this code, it will work for you:

Code:

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

this works for me:

Code:

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

why do some people need to escape the chars while others don't?


that makes me nervous.

The previous response is for 2008, and we are on 2009, but if any other had the same problem, try to use " double quotes instead of single quotes. (double quotes allow to scape characters like "\-" )

Thanks.

Seeing as its been brought up a whole year later, the reaon some thing needs to be escaped (aka '-') is because that means a range, such as 0-9 means any number between 0 and 9

If you put the '-' first, you don't need to escape it, as it can't mean a range then, but any other time, you need to
