Problem with cyrillic characters in friendly url

Question

Here\'s the thing. I have friendly urls like

http://site.com/blog/read/мъдростта-на-вековете

http://site.com/blog/read/green-apple

Answer 1

The above answers are ok, but if you want to use routing with cyrillic it isn't enough. For example if you have http://site.com/блог/статия/мъдростта-на-вековете you will have to do something like this:

In config/routes.php: $route['блог/статия/(:any)'] = "blog/article/$1";

In system/core/URI.php , in the function _explode_segments(), you can change

$val = trim($this->_filter_uri($val));

to

$val = urldecode(trim($this->_filter_uri($val)));

This will solve the above problem plus controllers and functions.
