variable issue in codeIgniter

Question

I am trying to passing a value, something like 2:03, in codeigniter controller function. But it is not working. If I send any int or char or something like '2:03:56:45' it works.

Can someone tell me please what is going wrong with '2:03'?

My code is here :

function get_value($point_code ){

    echo $point_code;die(); 

}

here $point_code is 2:03

why are you using die and not return? Is this an ajax call or something? — Kai Qing

Are you passing 2:03 or '2:03'? If there is a colon in it, it needs to be a string (in quotes). — gen_Eric

Define "not working". Do you see the wrong data echoed? No data? An error? What does it do that makes you think it's "not working"? — gen_Eric

i am passing 2:03 . no it is not a ajax call. not working means no data printed and no error showing. — Treadstone

It appears there is an issue in CodeIgniter when the URI has a single colon followed by a number.

See:

The solution given in the forums is to modify system/core/URI.php and change

$uri = parse_url($uri, PHP_URL_PATH);

To:

$uri = urldecode(parse_url(urlencode($uri), PHP_URL_PATH));

This is line 219 in the 2.1.4 release of CI.

I was able to reproduce the issue and updating that line resolved the issue for me.

I really hate solutions that involve modifying the core files.
