URLencoding works for all characters except / and \

2012-10-23 Thread Lightee
Dear cakephp experts,

While passing parameters through URL, there are cases when the parameters 
contain funny characters like %$#. This problem is solved when I encode the 
URL. However, for some reason, characters such as backslash / and 
forward-slash \ simply do not work on cakephp. All other characters work 
after encoding the URL.

I have already spent significant amount of time on this problem. Can 
someone advise?

Thank you very much.

you can either write your own escaping function who takes care of those 
characters, or better, use base64encode to pass those special character 
strings via $_GET
but there you also need to tweak it a little bit,
see the CakeDC search plugin for details where I fixed the method to safely 
encode the / and = chars:
https://github.com/CakeDC/search/blob/master/Controller/Component/PrgComponent.php#L198

you will then need to decode it again in the view:
