How to pass parameters with space to controller from URL in codeigniter?

Question

I have one method in controller that receive several parameters:

public function api(){
  $url_params = $this->uri->segment_array();

   //...
}

and this is example of URL:

http://testsite.com/services/api/invite-businesses/contact_name/_testing/message/some%20message/url/some_URL/

So my array seems like:

array(10) {
  [1]=>
  string(8) "services"
  [2]=>
  string(3) "api"
  [3]=>
  string(17) "invite-businesses"
  [4]=>
  string(12) "contact_name"
  [5]=>
  string(12) "_testing"
  [6]=>
  string(7) "message"
  [7]=>
  string(14) "some%20message"
  [8]=>
  string(3) "url"
  [9]=>
  string(4) "some_URL"
}

You can see that one of parameters has space: some%20message .

But I want to get real value, ae some message . The value might contain any other character that URL converts to %xx .

How to get real value

Answer 1

Use urldecode() to decode string

...
 $url_params = $this->uri->segment_array();
 foreach($url_params as &$param) {
   $param = urldecode($param);
 }
 ...

Answer 2

You can try urldecode .

echo urldecode("some%20message");

This will return "some message"

Answer 3

使用urldecode（）解码URL编码的字符串
